SHORT HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN 50 FAILURES

Tout le monde fait des échecs, certains sont juste un peu plus connus que les autres !

Explore the failures, mistakes and missed opportunities that shaped history in this new entry in the bestselling series.

From the botched attempt to create a life-extending elixir that produced gunpowder, to the unsuccessful stint in medical school which led to a career in naturalism for Charles Darwin. Or the missile detection system malfunction that almost sparked a nuclear war.

The course of human history has so often been shaped by failures of all magnitudes.

In fifty bite-sized chapters spanning thousands of years, this book details how the world as we know it has been defined by plans gone awry, opportunities not seized upon and schemes that were always fated to end in catastrophe.
