“The Truth and Lies of History” was not written for academic professionals. It is intended for that part of the general public who is interested in an objective account of the past. First of all, about the events of the twentieth century. We are talking about historical myths with which we were fed and are being fed by the powers that be - that 1% of the planet's population who owns 99% of the world's property and who hopes to hide from humanity their participation in the most black and cruel acts of recent history. This book is dedicated specifically to exposing the military, economic and political crimes of bankers and corporations who, in order to obtain super-profits, have already unleashed two world wars, created fascism, and continue to destroy democracy and social justice on Earth. Now they are leading the way to a new bloody battle for the redivision of the world and to the planetary dictatorship of the money bag. Some of Jacques Pauwels's works have become real bestsellers, forcing people to see the light and free themselves from imposed political cliches and stereotypes. In Russia, and in other countries, representatives of the older generation are relatively well aware of many historical realities. However, there are still many, both here and in the West, of those, especially among young people, who, thanks to the research of a Canadian historian, will be able to rediscover the past. As one English-speaking reader put it, after reading Pauwels’s new book, “you get the feeling that you are lifting your head out of a hole for the first time and finally seeing the whole surrounding landscape.”
