Oops. Reeling from the Black Death, Europe's peasants decide it is
cats that are carrying the plague, and start killing them
off...leading the rat population, which is really spreading the
disease, to explode. A better society is Prohibition's goal - but
the result is robbery and homicide, plus the use of cocaine,
marijuana, and opium as substitutes for alcohol. Mexico invites
Americans to Texas. And the Americans never leave. Nixon has a
twenty-point lead in the polls. Apparently that's not a comfortable
enough margin for those who decide to ensure his success...by
breaking into the Watergate. From the Maginot Line to the Bay of
Pigs invasion, history is filled with bad moves and not-so-bright
ideas that snowballed into disasters and unintended consequences.
This engrossing book looks at one hundred such tipping points.
Japan bombs Pearl Harbor. Rome farms out its fighting to
barbarians. The Aztecs greet the conquistadors with open arms. And
the rest is history...
