Everyone makes mistakes and nearly everyone likes to know about them, especially when made by someone else! The Worst Blunders of All Time:Shocking Tales from Pandora's Box to Putin's Invasionpresents some of our most notable blunders, from the silly to the consequential, from ancient history to current events.

The reader will see when relatively big things have gone wrong and couldn't be called back, such as iconic, mythical blunders like Pandora opening that troublesome box and Eve taking her ill-advised bite, to great historical oops such as Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812, as well as some less monumental but nonetheless exemplary mistakes, such as the "Curse of the Bambino," when the Boston Red Sox sold Babe Ruth-at the time, a pitcher-to the New York Yankees. These and other exemplary oops are presented in a light-hearted way, with some exceptions
