A hilarious look at some of history's most epic failures and the lessons we've learned (or not) from them.
No one takes pride in it, but it is funny to see others fail. Take an educational and entertaining tour through history, visiting some of humankind's silliest decisions.
From the sinking of the HMS Titanic, to Napoleon and Hitler trying to invade Russia in the dead of winter, to the elderly church parishioner trying to "restore" a fresco with disastrous results, readers will discover some of the epic fails that have changed our world or simply left us wondering "what were they thinking?!".
Each tale is accompanied by wacky illustrations from Ella Kasperowicz, adding humor to even the most devastating failures.
This is the third title in Neon Squid's Wacky Histories series, following A Stinky History of Toilets and A Sick History of Medicine, and is perfect for curious kids with a fondness for the darker side of history.
