Fake Heroes: Ten False Icons and How They Altered the Course of History
By examining the lives of ten influential figures, journalist Otto English reveals the shocking truth behind their reputations. From the world of art to politics and business, English brings to light the murkier truths that these individuals would rather have kept buried.
With a keen eye for detail, English scrutinises the hidden lives of figures like Captain Scott, Andy Warhol, and Coco Chanel, exposing the lies and deceit that have become an integral part of their legacies. A thought-provoking exploration of the past, Fake Heroes helps us understand why the truth matters today.
