Description
A humorous and irreverent look at human history's most creative and catastrophic mistakes. From our earliest ancestors to the present day, Tom Phillips explores the most spectacular fails in human history, from the Four Pests Campaign to the American Dustbowl, and even the Austrian army attacking itself one drunken night. Throughout this journey, we're reminded that, as a species, we haven't exactly grown wiser with age. With wit and candour, Phillips shows us that our mistakes can be both laughable and instructive. This book is a lighthearted and entertaining take on the ups and downs of human history. With 304 pages of humorous anecdotes and insightful observations, this book will leave you chuckling at humanity's misadventures and perhaps even learning something new along the way.
