10 mistakes that changed history

10 Mistakes That Changed History is a history book with a twist. It focuses on fascinating stories of human error in history, featuring many of the biggest characters, events, and episodes of the last two and a half thousand years. Sure, we all make mistakes, but how often do those mistakes end up altering history?

Comedian and author Paul Coulter presents a hilarious and surprising read full of bad leadership decisions, misguided acts of heroism and catastrophic lapses of judgement. There's the story of Captain Lord, who was fast asleep on the SS California while the Titanic sank nearby. There's also the tragic story of Magellan whose voyage was marred by treason, mutinies, starvation, and ultimately his own death, but who still ended up proving that the world was round in the process. 

With ten chapters from ten geographically and historically diverse time periods, this book has something for everyone. Plus, it's nice to know that no matter how big a mistake you might have made in your life, the greatest names in history have made far bigger ones.

 And we have a wide range of books as well here at designist.
