A story badly needed in this post truth world.
An easy listen, broken into moderate length installments that can be conveniently consumed in a commute or during chores, this book was insightful and thought provoking. An interesting read that really questions not only the accuracy of historic accounts, but the motivations of the people who created those inaccuracies. Spoiler alert: they weren't always malicious in their intent.

Waiting for more...
I thoroughly enjoyed this, so much so that I'm disappointed there are only 6! I dislike reading history so I listen to it and these angles of history were captivating.

Perspectives challenged.
A great reminder of how history is edited according to who wrote it.
All of know that the truth is defined by who told the story. And yet we still follow our history books as though they were a gospel rendition of times gone by.

A lesson that fails its own test.
For a podcast about how history is warped and twisted by those with political agendas, there sure is a lot of twisting and warping of history to meet a political agenda in this. The fact that the presenter clearly misrepresents contemporary facts that are easily double checked makes it hard to trust any claims or conclusions made by the presenter about historical facts that aren't contemporary and cannot be easily confirmed. It's kind of ironic that this whole series is a historian being dishonest about history in an attempt to illustrate how historians are often dishonest about history.

A must for anyone interested in history.
In an era of fake news these great stories force us to investigate our own history.

thoughtful analysis of how history is used
Excellent analysis of carfully selected examples of how history can be manipulated to serve specific purposes. then, series asks the larger questions based on the case studies as a whole.
The analysts of confederate statutes particularly relevant and thought provoking in current context of contested American self-image.

Absolutely loved this!!
Some say that history cannot be rewritten. On the contrary, this series illustrates so well that it can not only be written but rewritten and edited according to who wishes to do so. A truly fascinating account of this reality!!
