Overview

What if history's greatest turning points weren't triumphs of genius-but the echoes of devastating mistakes? From a Shah's reckless insult that unleashed Genghis Khan's fury, to a submarine commander who failed to destroy the Enigma machine, to a press conference slip that brought down the Berlin Wall-the world has often been changed not by brilliance, but by blunders. In History's Most Dangerous Mistakes, Calista Finch takes you on a gripping journey through the missteps, oversights, and accidents that shaped civilizations. Each chapter reveals how a single wrong move-sometimes as small as a wrong turn, a miscalculated number, or one spoken word-ignited consequences that echoed across continents and centuries.
