About the book

The Secret History of Gold by Dominic Frisby is a biography for adult readers.

The first definitive biography of gold; the metal that has shaped our world - and may yet determine its future. The Secret History of Gold tells the epic tale of the world's oldest, and most treasured, currency. From its origins in the formation of the solar system to its pivotal role in both ancient myth and modern finance, Dominic Frisby explores, with wit and brevity, how gold has defined the entire course of human civilisation.

Gold has inspired men to do the most brilliant - and terrible - things. The most stolen metal in history, it has lured explorers, conquerors and thieves.
