Hidden Mechanisms

Name: Hidden Mechanisms: Volume One
Author: History Decoded

True Stories From History That Sound Made Up

Some of the strangest, most extraordinary stories in human history sound like fiction — but every one of them is true.

From the plague that accidentally ended feudalism to the army defeated not by Russia but by hunger, from the volcano that starved two continents to the pandemic that was given completely the wrong name — Hidden Mechanisms uncovers ten moments where history was shaped not by decisions, but by forces nobody could see or control until it was too late.

Ten true stories. Ten hidden mechanisms. All of them stranger than fiction.
