description: An exhilarating journey through the most creative and catastrophic f*ck ups in human history from our very first ancestor falling out of that tree to the most spectacular fails of the present day. In the seventy thousand years that modern human beings have walked this earth we've come a long way. Art science culture trade - on the evolutionary food chain we're real winners. But frankly it's not exactly been plain sailing and sometimes - just occasionally - we've managed to really truly quite unbelievably f*ck things up.From Chairman Mao's Four Pests Campaign to the American Dustbowl; from the Austrian army attacking itself one drunken night to the world's leading superpower electing a reality TV mogul as President... it's pretty safe to say that as a species we haven't exactly grown wiser with age. So next time you think you've really f*cked up this book will remind you: it could be so much worse
