The Loudest Hoaxes from Ramses to Trump

Fake news existed long before the internet. The first historically proven deception is the stone-carved story of how Ramses single-handedly defeated the Hittites. This deception is over three thousand years old!
By researching stories of deliberate hoaxes, Peter Köhler discovered many... amazing, sometimes frightening, and occasionally humorous incidents from the realms of politics, science, art, and everyday life. It remains only to repeat after Machiavelli: "People are usually so blind and subject to the influence of the moment that anyone wishing to deceive will always find someone who will succumb to deception".
