Spies, Sadists and Sorcerers unveils the history you were never taught at school. With a breath-taking sweep spanning Rome to the modern day, popular historian and author Dominic Selwood challenges the traditional version of some of the best-known events of the past.

– Magna Carta was an infamous failure in medieval times
– Richard the Lionheart was a cruel and dreadful king
– The Knights Templar were heretical, and have left a genuinely baffling mystery
– The painter of the Turin Shroud was found in the 1300s
– Christopher Columbus never saw America
– The first computer coder was a woman, a century before Alan Turing
– The man who unleashed mustard gas in the World War One trenches won the Nobel Prize for chemistry
– One incredible Spanish spy saved D-Day

... and lots more. This book will challenge everything you think you know about history!
