| Publisher Description: Did I do that? When asked to name a successor, Alexander the Great declared that his empire should go to the strongest. But would rival factions have descended into war if he'd been a little more specific? What if the Vienna School of Art took a chance on a hopeful young student named Adolf Hitler? If Pope Clement VII granted King Henry VIII an annulment, England would likely still be Catholic today-and so would America. Bill Fawcett, author of 100 Mistakes That Changed History, offers a compendium of 101 all-new mammoth mistakes-from the ill-fated rule of Emperor Darius III to the equally ill-fated search for WMDs in Iraq-that will, unfortunately, never be forgotten by history. |
