Hidden History: a compelling and captivating study of the causes of WW1 that turns everything you think you know on its head Kindle Edition

4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 424 ratings

Think you know about British history and the causes of the First World War? Think again. This fascinating and gripping study of events at the turn of the Twentieth Century is a remarkable insight into how political and social factors that we widely accept to be the causes of The Great War, were really just a construct put together by a very small, but powerful, political elite...

***********************************************************************************
Hidden History uniquely exposes those responsible for the First World War. It reveals how accounts of the war's origins have been deliberately falsified to conceal the guilt of the secret cabal of very rich and powerful men in London responsible for the most heinous crime perpetrated on humanity. For ten years, they plotted the destruction of Germany as the first stage of their plan to take control of the world. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was no chance happening. It lit a fuse that had been carefully set through a chain of command stretching from Sarajevo through Belgrade and St Petersburg to that cabal in London.

Our understanding of these events has been firmly trapped in
a web of falsehood and duplicity carefully constructed by the victors at Versailles in 1919 and maintained by compliant historians ever since. The official version is fatally flawed, warped by the volume of evidence they destroyed or concealed from public view.

Hidden History poses a tantalising challenge. The authors ask only that you examine the evidence they lay before you . . .

Thought-provoking . . . Docherty and Macgregor do not mince their words . . . their arguments are powerful ― Britain at War

About the Author

Gerry Docherty is a former headteacher and author of several historic plays. His most recent, Lie Of the Land, told the story of two cousins from the same small village in Scotland who won the Victoria Cross at the Battle of Loos in 1915.

Jim Macgregor is a former GP. He was raised in a cottage in the grounds of Erskine Hospital for the War Disabled, and as a result developed a life-long interest in the origins of war.

    Made my top 3 list. An extraordinary book that goes into who the hidden players who helped shaped our modern world are/have been. Excellent summaries at the end of each chapter.

    La primera y segunda Guerra mundial se pudieron evitar, sin embargo la paz iba contra los intereses de una clase específica que necesitaba de esas guerras para consolidar su dominio mundial. Los autores detallan magistralmente el papel desempeñado por la élite anglosajona británica en la primera guerra mundial

    As a WW1 battlefield guide I always get asked the seemingly innocent question "but how could this happen"?
    And you try to explain in short and clear phrases a huge question. I always feel embarassed to come up with the well known facts how old Europe was sliding into WW1.
    For all the ones who wish to dig deeper, I recommend this very seriously researched book.
    And if English is not your first language, I recommend especially the economic KINDLE version, with its integrated dictionnary service.
    So many books exist about WW1, yet this one is a "must"!

    I was really looking forward to this book as I am very much interested in world history. Also I had recently read some other books which were events based on pre ww1 events so this book actually fell in place pretty well. The over all theme is very interesting and there are some pretty good chapters in the book which are eye opening but overall the book is a dampener as the authors were not able to keep me engaged throughout. I was actually glazing over many parts of the book which is such a shame because there is truly so much to learn which is actually not thought to us in schools and colleges.
