How often does it happen that a single tiny mistake causes an entire civilization to collapse? Readers of Jared Knott's newest book, Tiny Blunders Big Disasters, will be amazed at how often it happens - over and over again. Some examples as follows: A single document poorly designed by one single clerk in one single county changed the outcome of a presidential election and led directly to a major war. A soldier accidentally kicks a helmet off of the top of a wall and causes an empire to collapse. A small mechanical device several inches long fails to function ; This changes the outcome of WWII and leads to the death of millions of people. A man fails to gather his army in time to defend against an attack because of the temptation of opium and a young slave woman. Hypnotic and addictive these examples are some of the many contained in this book. Human weakness at it very worst at critical moments. The "Butterfly Effect" in human history reviewed.
