Synopsis

From Glenn Beck, the New York Times bestselling author of The Great Reset, comes the powerful follow-up to his national bestseller Miracles and Massacres, which was praised as “moving, provocative, and masterful” (Michelle Malkin, bestselling author of Culture of Corruption).

Everyone has heard of a “Ponzi scheme,” but do you know what Charles Ponzi actually did to make his name synonymous with fraud? You’ve probably been to a Disney theme park, but did you know that the park Walt believed would change the world was actually EPCOT? He died before his vision for it could ever be realized. History is about so much more than dates and dead guys; it’s the greatest story ever told. Now, in Dreamers and Deceivers, Glenn Beck brings ten more true and untold stories to life.

The people who made America were not always what they seemed. There were entrepreneurs and visionaries whose selflessness propelled us forward, but there were also charlatans and fraudsters whose selfishness nearly derailed us. Dreamers and Deceivers brings both of these groups to life with stories written to put you right in the middle of the action.

From the spy Alger Hiss, to the visionary Steve Jobs, to the code-breaker Alan Turing—once you know the full stories behind the half-truths you’ve been force fed…once you begin to see these amazing people from our past as people rather than just names—your perspective on today’s important issues may forever change.

Goodreads review by Doran on December 08, 2014

Does Glenn Beck write his own books? I doubt it's possible. I believe his role is more like that of a film director or even a producer. With Miracles and Massacres and his latest offering Dreamers and Deceivers, I believe he picked which stories were to be told, what details were to be emphasized, a......more

Goodreads review by Arnold on June 12, 2015

Probably one of the best books of history that I have read in several years. Do yourself a favor and don't get bogged down by who the author is... take it at face value and read it for the content alone. Each chapter is a condensed telling of history as it relates to the Subject or Persons, around who......more

Goodreads review by Laura on August 11, 2017

Despite my husband's disapproval for Glenn Beck, I chose to read this book anyway. (My husband (and I, for that matter) don't like how Beck has a tendency for twisting the truth, especially with reports on Fox.) I knew, though, after seeing the reviews on Goodreads I was going to have to read it. And......more

Goodreads review by Anne on February 11, 2015

Glenn Beck writes about people who influenced America. I enjoyed hearing about people who did things which inspired names such as "Ponzi scheme" and how the name came about. I learned about Edison and Tesla a while back, thanks to Glenn's show, and was saddened to hear what a creep Edison actually w......more
