Inventing the Flat Earth: Columbus and Modern Historians by Jeffrey Burton Russell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A trenchant demonstration that what "Everybody Knows" is not just dead wrong (as usual), but the result of systematic anti-Catholic Whig propaganda. Russell dissects and explodes the "Flat Error" ("Flat Lie" would be more like it) to the satisfaction of everyone reasonable.
