EPISODE 1768: In this KEEN ON show, Andrew talks to Kenneth W. Rendell, author of SAFEGUARDING HISTORY, about protecting the truth at a time when fakers are much smarter and more creative than their victims
Kenneth W. Rendell has written nine books, co-authored two, and written the Foreword and collaborated on an additional three, for a total of fourteen books. All have to do with different aspects of collecting. Many are standard works in the field; for example, Forging History: The Detection of Fake Letters and Documents, and History Comes to Life. Others relate to areas of special collecting interest to him: the American West and World War II. His latest book is Safeguarding History; Trailblazing Adventures Inside the Worlds of Collecting and Forging History, with a Foreword by Doris Kearns Goodwin.
