内容説明

"A lively tour through our past and an ingenious primer in the art of historical detection." - Robert A. Gross, author of "The Minutemen and Their World". A fascinating look at thirty of the world's most baffling and enduring mysteries. In this tantalizing follow-up to his highly successful "Unsolved Mysteries of American History", the author recreates some of the most mystifying events that ever occurred. Or did they? For example: How were the pyramids built? Why was Jesus's tomb empty? Was there really a King Arthur? Did any of the tzar's heirs survive the Russian Revolution? And many more that will appeal to history buffs, mystery readers, and anyone who loves the challenge of analyzing possible solutions. Paul Aron is an award-winning reporter for the Virginia Gazette. He was previously editorial director at Leo Douglas Publishers, executive editor at Simon and Schuster, and editor at Anchor Press/Doubleday.
