The Best Lies Are True
This 210-page photo book tells the incredible true story of Baron Nicholas von Poppen and his culture-smashing the flying saucers. Along the way, it may change how you look at the 20th Century.
Hundreds of photos taken by the late Baron trace his path through his early days in service to the last tsar of Russia to the years he wandered in Mexico, capturing some of the earliest color photos of daily life across its cities, towns, and countrysides.
There may be an Unidentified Flying Object.

Premiere Edition—with a special appendix of newly discovered photos show the start of World War I, Estonia’s freedom from the Russian Empire, Mexico circa 1940-1941, and Los Angeles from the early 1960s.
