Bunk traces the history of the hoax as a peculiarly American phenomenon, examining what motivates hucksters and makes the rest of us so gullible. Disturbingly, Young finds that fakery is woven from stereotype and suspicion, race being the most insidious American hoax of all. He chronicles how Barnum came to fame by displaying figures like Joice Heth, a black woman whom he pretended was the 161-year-old nursemaid to George Washington.

Political bias @ the end, over took everything else sad I liked most of it 😔

A great view of history, unveiling the world of hoaxes to me. The book seems to be well-researched, I may find the lack of knowledge in politics is noticeable. And the emphasis on political bias, I feel that it had no relevances to the book I am happy I read but think some views ruin the story
