10 Second Review
A fun collection of some the world's most outrageous con artists.

From biblical times to the present, this book collects a wide variety of large-scale hoaxes.
Many readers will be surprised at the more recent events.
A good choice for history buffs and conspiracy fans.

Moderate: Might be a bit complicated for younger readers
