In 2002, the Bush administration decided that dealing with Saddam Hussein was like appeasing Hitler or Mussolini, and promptly invaded Iraq. Were they wrong to look to history for guidance? No; their mistake was to exaggerate one of its lessons while suppressing others of equal importance. History is often hijacked through suppression, manipulation and, sometimes, even outright deception. MacMillan's book is packed full of examples of the abuses of history. In response, she urges us to treat the past with care and respect.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46000018096347,"sku":"9781846682049-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9781846682049-us-300.jpg?v=1724984871","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781846682049-secondhand-the-uses-and-abuses-of-history","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
