by G. K. Chesterton (Author), G. K. Chesterton (Author)

Chesterton has been called the Prince of Paradox. His works include journalism, philosophy, poetry, biography, fantasy and detective stories. Chesterton says he decided to write this work because up till now no one has written a history that shows the populace in a favorable light. Most histories depict the people of a country as ignorant or in most instances wrong. Chesterton hoped to right this wrong.
