More of History's Worst Decisions and the People Who Made Them

by Ian Whitelaw

If the road to damnation is paved with the best of intentions, then the road to disaster is paved with what, at first sight, appeared to be a smart move. More of History's Worst Decisions features a second crop of humongous historical bloopers, ordered chronologically, starting with the granddaddy of them all, our hominid ancestors' decision to come down from the trees, and categorized into military, religion, culture, politics, scandal, environment and everyone's current favourite, economics.

Διαβασα την ελληνικη μεταφραση του που δεν είναι ακομα καταχωρημενη στο gr.
Ηταν ενα ενδιαφερον, ενημερωτικο βιβλιο που φωτιζει αθεατες πλευρες ιστορικων γεγονοτων.
Αν και διατηρω καποιες αμφιβολιες για την αντικειμενικοτητα του συγγραφεα όταν κρινει τα γεγονοτα, πιστευω ότι εμαθα πολλα πραγματα, που δε γνωριζα, διαβαζοντας το βιβλιο του.
