Dreams, Delusions & Disasters: The Book of Misfortunes
€ 24.99
ISBN: 9781910533703
Throughout history, and all over the world, seemingly intelligent people have made foolish decisions based on delusions.
This has affected love affairs, politics, finance, science, warfare, showbusiness and even sport. It has also wrecked marriages, bankrupted millionaires, lost battles, destroyed empires, brought down leaders and royalty, split religions, ruined reputations, changed climates, thwarted gangsters and even exposed sex pests.
Donough O'Brien and Liz Cowley shine a spotlight on 150 intriguing, and often hidden, corners of such calamities... And in so doing they highlight over 650 characters who prove to be both fascinating and flawed.
Dreams, Delusions & Disasters is an absorbing take on history.
