From the sinking of the HMS Titanic, to the loss of the Mars Climate Orbiter, to the elderly church parishioner trying to restore a fresco, readers will discover some of the epic fails that have changed our world or simply left us wondering "what were they thinking?!".

Each tale is accompanied by wacky illustrations from Ella Kasperowicz, adding humour to even the most devastating failures.
