Synopsis
Sometimes the truth hurts. Facts can be inconvenient, disappointing, or even disturbing, but they can't be changed simply because we want them to be. THE AWFUL TRUTHS takes a look at some long-held beliefs that are not true, and tells us what really happened. Each truth will be put into context and backed up with fascinating evidence that skillfully explains how and where our misconceptions originated. The author will draw from the worlds of history, sports, entertainment and politics, with the truth behind Mickey Mantle, Jimi Hendrix, The Godfather, and even St. Patrick. Who was Mario Puzo's model for the Don Corleone character in The Godfather? Was it Joseph "Joe Bananas" Bonanno? The infamous Salvatore Marranzo? No.....it was Puzo's mother!
