520 _aHistory is full of struggle and triumph, determination and discovery, courage and revolution-and, let's face it, some really bad days. In this wickedly entertaining book, best-selling author Michael Farquhar chronicles epic misfortunes, losses, displays of terrible luck, and general mayhem and horror for every day of the year. Here are 365 uproarious entries that reveal the past uncensored, with blunders and catastrophes from ancient times to modern day. Kings and presidents, entrepreneurs and pop icons, tyrants and swindlers: All are subject to misfortune, and this day-by-day record offers one glorious fiasco after the next.
