The Great & Calamitous Tale of Johan Thoms: How One Man Scorched the Twentieth Century But Didn't Mean To by Ian Thornton

1.0

There is nothing wrong with a flight of fancy but there was never a person named Johan Thoms. The driver of Franz Ferdinand's car was named Leopold Lojka. The fancy is that he did not know how to drive in reverse which is simply untrue. The early automobile that he drove did not have a reverse gear. It's a clever and fanciful idea but my issue is that too many people will assume it's true. We're not that smart these days and are filled with taking whatever we read or watch as truth. If we were smarter, I would give this book a better review.
