Vila-San-Juan examines a series of historical claims accepted without question and explains, with the help of sources, why they do not hold up. The book reviews famous cases, such as the number of the seven sages of Greece or the idea that Columbus set out with three caravels, and encourages looking at history with a critical spirit.
