A book of historical ‘What ifs’. What if Darwin had become a doctor in the family tradition? Or Napoleon had conquered Russia, which he failed to do? If the Boston tea party hadn’t happened, would Britain still control North America? A fascinating collection of historical incidents that led to great changes in the world.

My thanks to Michael O Mara publishing and NetGalley for a copy of “ A Short History Of The World In 50 Failures “ for an honest review.

I enjoyed Ben Gazur’s previous couple of books and this didn’t disappoint.I found it interesting and entertaining and I enjoy his style of writing.Its the perfect book to dip in and out of .
It’s good to know when something doesn’t go to plan things can always come right in the end !
Well worth a read !
