Book description
For anyone who has ever suffered the embarrassment of making a gigantic error of judgement, here is a collection of monumental mishaps, wildly wide-of-the-mark predictions, and blindingly bad ideas that will warm the heart of even the most maladroit among us.
Featuring toffee-nosed actors and nutty professors, ludicously optimistic military commanders and lying politicians, megalamaniac film directors and blinkered business tycoons, blundering lawyers and commercially ignorant publishers, and even fatally forgetful skydivers, never have so many been wrong, so badly, so often.
