Masters of the Swindle: True Stories of Liars, Cheats and Thieves Summary

Masters of the Swindle: True Stories of Liars, Cheats and Thieves by Gianni Morelli

Deception is so commonplace that we never doubt its existence. From Adam and Eve people have lied for their own gain, sometimes producing extraordinary and hilarious results, as an unintended consequence. This book looks at forty of the greatest con artists of the twentieth century who have manipulated those around them in some of the greatest scams of all time. Included are the likes of Arthur Furguson, known for selling historic landmarks like the Tower of London and the Statue of Liberty and Hans Van Meegeren, a Dutch painter considered to be one of the world's most ingenious art forgers. This wonderful collection of fantastic tales of duplicity will enthral any crime and mystery enthusiast. AUTHOR: Gianni Morelli has written articles and essays on history, geography and travel for some of the most important Italian publishing houses. In recent years, he has focused his work on deception and fraud and has always dreamed of organising the greatest con of the modern age. Chiara Schiavano is a journalist and freelance editor with a passion for contemporary history and news. She writes for several specialist magazines and journals on corporate communication and has gained extensive experience of publishing by working for Italian publishing houses.
