From Tawanna Brawley to the famous Quiz Show Scandals of the 1950s, examine some of the most famous hoaxes in recent history. From simple greed to marketing strategies, a desire for fame or fear of getting into trouble, explore the surprising reasons these hoaxes were perpetrated, and how they were uncovered. Herbert Stempel was a contestant on the popular '50s game show Twenty-One, who suspected the fix was in. Here, Mr. Stempel recalls the amazing succession of events he caused, which ended with nearlyall of the popular game shows of the day being taken off the air amid revelations that they were rigged. Clifford Irving had a deal to sell the "authorized" biography of Howard Hughes a sure-fire bestseller to McGraw Hill, but was exposed by Hughes himself. Mark Hoffman was a noted rare documents dealer who was really one of the most accomplished forgers of recent memory. Their stories and more are told in THE QUIZ SHOW SCANDAL AND OTHER FRAUDS.
