The crystal palace lie by Darragh Hogan

The Crystal Palace was not just an exhibition hall—it was a symbol. This book dismantles the official story behind one of the most celebrated structures of the modern age and reveals how architecture, industry, and spectacle were used to rewrite history. Beneath glass and iron lies a deeper narrative of forgotten technologies, erased civilisations, and manufactured progress. The Crystal Lie Palace invites readers to question what was lost, what was hidden, and why the past was rebuilt
