In the early 80s, a German magazine thought it had the scoop of the century: access to Adolf Hitler’s secret diaries. But as soon as excerpts of the diaries were released, critics pounced. Soon, the magazine that published them, the expert who verified them, and the journalist-slash-Nazi-enthusiast who sourced them are found to be victims of an artful forger… and of the allure of a story so incredible, it really was too good to be true.
5. the book is about clay tablets that survived from ancient crete. a few days after i started it, max miller mentioned similar clay tablets on "tasting history." they survived because their surrounding buildings burned and the clay was "fired"! so this destructive event preserved them for history.
