Description

Explore the fascinating stories behind history's most improbable events. From the birth of Western civilization to the rescue of Apollo 13, and from the Leaning Tower of Pisa to Florence's Duomo, this book reveals how small details can have a significant impact on the course of history.

Discover the unexpected connections between seemingly unrelated events, such as the ancient Samaritan people, the British conquest of India, and the development of chemotherapy. With contributions from a range of experts, this book delves into the strange and obscure byways of history that often shape our world.

Join Michael Dobson and other contributors on a journey through the unexpected stories that have shaped human history.
