History Decoded: The 10 Greatest Conspiracies of All Time by Brad Meltzer

ISBN: 9780761177456 PUBLISHER: Workman Publishing Company FORMAT: Hardcover PAGES: 132 PUBLICATION DATE: 22.10.2013

And to make this richly illustrated book even richer, each chapter invites the reader along for an interactive experience through the addition of removable facsimile documents--the evidence!
