True World History: Humanity's Saga

Don't waste your time or money.
I read about 60 pages and tossed back on the shelf. Seems like nothing more than musings and rewritten musings of others. A lot of statements of fact without any reference to sources that perhaps would have lent some credibility to his assertions.If you truly want to read something worthwhile, read, The Earth Chronicles by Zecharia Sitchin. This is a guy that spent about 4 decades researching and developing his theories. Sitchin can actually read the Sumerian cuneiform tablets and many other ancient languages. I read the Earth Chronicles this summer (2018) and I was overwhelmed by the scope and breadth of this monumental work.Whereas Sitchin explains his theories and backs them up; Swerdlow simply makes extraordinary notes them as fact and moves on. Swerdlow's book was published by: Expansions Publishing Company Inc. I just googled that and it states that it is a privately held company and employs a staff of approximately 1 (yes, one). Bet the private owner is none other than, Stewart Swerdlow.Read Sitchin instead.

The Underbelly of History.
Stewart Swerdlow's True World History is a captivating, engrossing, but ultimately uneven reading experience. While there is a great deal of intriguing insight into world history, his sketchy scholarship and breezy attitude detract from what might otherwise be an important work. In the area of suppressed archeology, however, Swerdlow really shines - in fact, whenever he knows his business his prose style tightens and your attention is riveted. Too often, however, his cavalier style is simplistic and dismissive. The maps and graphs are noteworthy, but sometimes outweigh the thin text that accompanies them. This is not an encyclopedia, tis true, but the endless snippets require a bit more substance. The aim of this book is to zero in on historical inaccuracies, and this he does with a laser focus - though often at the expense of complexity, where truth is to be found.I absolutely recommend this book, however, and will read it again. There are many important passages and much I did not know. In today's zombie zeitgeist it is a brave attempt to shake people out of their complacent, cud chewing mediocrity. The world may be screwed, but it's more interesting than we knew - this he informs us with dash and verve. Lots of astonishing material here, good potential for a mature second edition.

Great read. It brings together many different ideas that have been discussed before but not in a comprehensive way. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a truly unique perspective regarding history as we know it. After all it proves that History is truly His story... to the victor goes the spoils and the right to write his story as he wants to.

This Book WIll Make You Think
Loaded with new revelations, Stewart's book is perhaps the best summary of multiple aspects of Man and Earth -- outside of Virtual Earth Graduate. Stewart provides a lot of pix and charts to help the reader focus on the issue covered and while I knew some of the data in the areas he covers, he expanded my appreciation for them --often completing connections to dots I was not aware of. While there are some things I cannot check out or verify for myself, yet many of his revelations are plausible, make sense and gibe with what Virtual Earth Graduate says.He provides a lot of info on Celts, Vikings, Khazars, Aztecs, and even Nibiru and ETs. Also ancient peoples and civilizations, their migrations -- all to a better understanding of how people moved around and why and how some cultures mirror each other... because they were offshoots. He is the first to do some explaining of the Bosnian Pyramids.Perhaps the most interesting thing is his take on Antarctica and the 4th Reich. Shades of Joseph Farrell and his Breakaway Civilization... Also interesting is the speculation (?) regarding a Staged Alien Invasion by UFOs .. he is not the first author to suggest that some UFOs are ours and can help promote the One World Government by landing and claiming to be our Space Brothers, and "Hey!, we just happen to have answers for you beleaguered humans -- trust us and we'll set up world peace..."This is very worthwhile and at the very least, fascinating reading.

Well worth reading!
The author discusses many subjects which you may question as to how he is able to know about, but I think much about our distant past is known and covered up by those who seek power over us. He deals with the subject of who actually controls the world and anyone who takes an active interest in these subjects will instantly see that the information presented here is very plausible. The average level of understanding of the man in the street is quite low and thus many will not find that this book strikes a chord with them- many people don't credit the existence of aliens from other worlds- well these people are in for a shock...to say the least.

A Half Good Read
The first half of the book was really good. I enjoyed reading Stewart Swerdlow's unique take on world history. But then I got to the second half which was a bunch of essays by his wife and I lost interest. I have been unable to finish the book. I did not expect only half of the book to be by the author. I just could not get in to his wife's writing style or her subject matter.

Stewart Swerdlow has given us a lot of interesting, if not mind-bending information. Some of it connects with me, but not all. His delivery of this fascinating background to world history is at times a little disconnected, but nevertheless a lot of it resonates with me.

The Best History Book Ever.
A great book the missing link in World History. You will be astounded by what Stewart reveals. The best history book I have read, which includes herstory too. All the mysteries of the Universe revealed and more. A must must must read.
