I have never disagreed with a book more than I have with The Secret History of the World. It is not just sloppily edited and littered with errors of fact: it is morally disingenuous. 'Jonathan Black' is the nom de plume of Mark Booth, head of Century, an imprint of the publishers Random House.For many years, Booth has commissioned titles built around 'alternative' history and conspiracy theories. Now he has written a 'history' of civilisation that repeats some of the wildest claims of his authors and throws in some new ones of his own, such as the assertion that Pope John Paul II was a secret adept of an esoteric cult.
