A Short History Of Truth Svetlana Alexievich Winner of the James TaitHow did we find ourselves in a "post truth" world of "alternative facts"? And can we get out of it? A SHORT HISTORY OF TRUTH sets out to answer these questions by looking at the complex history of truth and falsehood. It identifies ten types of supposed truth and explains how easily each can become the midwife of falsehood. There is no species of truth that we can rely on unquestioningly, but that does not mean the truth can never be established.
