Résumé
Spanning the globe and thousands of years, A Short History of the World in 50 Failures reveals an alternative perspective on history as we know it through fifty of the greatest failures, catastrophes and missed opportunities. Taking readers on a fascinating journey through human history, author Ben Gazur examines how failures can change the world around us. He examines blunders that triggered wars, such as Franz Ferdinand's driver making a wrong turn, and mistakes that lost wars, like Napoleon's march on Russia.
Failures have also led to great innovations, such as the invention of tea and penicillin, and surprising twists of fate - an unsuccessful stint in medical school led to a career in naturalism for Charles Darwin. Uncover the profound impact of these events on history to find out how disastrous they were, but also how failure can sometimes lead to success.
