Description
The world doesn’t always hinge on governments and leaders. From the innocent wrong turn made by Archduke Ferdinand’s chauffeur in June 1914, to the Saxon leader Byrhtnoth's act of chivalry in 991 (thereby paving the way for British comedy as we know it today), this brilliant new book by the author of Tiny Islands looks behind the scenes of wars, politics, the arts, food, science, and even health and safety, to reveal tiny events with enormous repercussions.
Paperback. 224 pages.
