History is full of myths, legends, fabrications, misinformation, misunderstandings, and... the corresponding folklore. Whether all these are deliberately constructed or have been shaped completely randomly is left to common sense or imagination.

This book presents some of the most popular myths that have entered the popular consciousness as real events, from the time of great revolutions, the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the two world wars, and beyond.

It is a book that connects all the pieces of the historical and political puzzle of nations, revealing to us how deeply we are in the dark and how easily we bite the bait of populism and misinformation.
