The Greatest Blunders... Ever !: History's Dumbest Mistakes And The People Who Made ThemIan Whitelaw2017

Synopsis

“The mistakes of the fool are known to the world,
but not to himself.” – Charles Caleb Colton, English writer

If the road to damnation is paved with the best of intentions, then the road to disaster is paved with what, at first sight, appeared to be a smart move. History’s Biggest Blunders features a crop of humongous historical bloopers, ordered chronologically, and categorized into military, religion, culture, politics, scandal, environment, and everyone’s current favorite, economics.

Chapters include:
• Conspirators Murder Julius Caesar
• Napoleon Sells Louisiana
• Britain Invades Afghanistan
• Hitler Invades Russia
• Europe Introduces the Euro

This beautifully presented volume, with over 80 photographs, paintings, and illustrations, shines a light on the people and personalities behind some of history’s biggest blunders.
