Hindsight hurts. The British Parliament passes the Townshend Acts, making the American colonies pay for their own defense - which instead starts a revolution. In 1929, President Herbert Hoover decides to let the economy fix itself . . . and the Great Depression gets greater.
Charles I cuts a deal with the Irish to fight Parliament. The move loses him public support - and later his head. Bill Fawcett proves that when global leaders drop the ball, the whole world shakes. With a hundred blunders - from Pickett's Charge to the Lewinski scandal -this compendium takes a fascinating look at some of history's greatest turns for the worse.
