A critical examination of Lasker’s writings on a variety of subjects — World War I, history, science, Nazi participation in the 1939 FIDE Olympiad, and around 45 pages of chess analysis — concentrating on instances where he was seriously wrong.
A fun-sounding message but a serious book.

Self-published by leading chess historian Taylor Kingston who has already published extensively on topics such as Edgard Colle, chess in Nazi Germany, Najdorf and Lasker himself. He also has a two-volume series on Jacques Mieses forthcoming to be published by Elk and Ruby.

Distributed by Elk and Ruby in mainland Europe.
