Fallen Idols: Twelve Statues That Made History 2021
Fallen Idols: Twelve Statues That Made History is a 2021 book written by Alex von Tunzelmann and released by Headline Publishing Group. The work responds to statue removals and damage that occurred during the George Floyd protests of 2020. The book follows twelve statues or groups of statues of historical figures. It examines when these statues were built, why they became controversial, and what led to their removal, destruction, or vandalism.
The paperback version came out in 2022 with the revised title Fallen Idols: History is not erased when statues are pulled down. The original title remains unchanged in the hardcover edition. It is a book about public monuments and their changing roles in society.
