What History Left Out

What History Left Out explores aspects of the historical record that aren't necessarily in the textbook — the details, decisions, and discrepancies that can make a history lesson more complicated than everyone is aware of.

The episodes focus on one event, one figure or one artefact and the question is what really happened and what was remembered. At times, it entails a recorded cover-up. Sometimes, it is some peculiarity: a number, a date, a coincidence, which historians have been debating. In other cases, it's simply that the truth was more complex than the version that made it to print.

This does not include a slideshow. It is for people who have not seen the story without all the hassles and who don't want a neat question rather than an unresolved one.
