The history of mankind, the meaning of human existence, the secrets and mysteries of our idols and odious personalities are the main themes of the author’s reflections in the proposed book. The author believes that the secrets of history are like disguised traps on the unknown, full of drama, path along which humanity is walking. People have long been drawn into an incomprehensible, devilish game, the rules of which they do not know. And this knowledge comes, but you have to pay very dearly for it. Readers of the book are invited to find out that behind the story that we know from textbooks, there is hidden another, sometimes paradoxical, secret and unexpected one.
