History's Big Mistakes (History's highlights)
By Adam Bowett.
Description
This volume is one of a series that takes a slightly irreverent look at some of the more spectacular events and people through history. It questions whether the discovery of America was a big mistake? whether rabbits reaching Australia was another disaster and wonders at the scientist who wanted world peace and yet by mistake helped to create the most deadly war weapon of all.

Some mistakes, like the sale of Alaska, turn out well....
