More Bad Days in History
More Bad Days in History: The Delightfully Dismal, Day-By-Day Saga of Ignominy, Idiocy, and Incompetence Continues | Michael Farquhar
3 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
In the sequel to his sleeper hit Bad Days in History, acclaimed journalist Michael Farquhar brings us another 365 wickedly entertaining days of historical bad luck, epic misfortune, and unadulterated mayhem. History is filled with struggle and triumph, determination and discovery, courage and revolution--and let's face it, some really bad days. Featuring tales of bad romance, failed business deals, presidential missteps, royal sabotage, tragic loss, and missed opportunities, this illuminating narrative tells the unfortunate--but often comical--tales of days gone horribly wrong from ancient history to the modern day. With a red-letter event for every day of the year--from January 2, 1492, when the sultan of Granada was relieved of his kingdom by Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain, to February 18, 1900, when heroin was first prescribed by doctors to cure the common cough--you'll find yourself amused, intrigued, and sometimes horrified by day after day of hilarious misfortune. Think you're having a bad day? Think again.

127/150 Every day is a bad day for someone. History shows that there's terrible things happening 365 days a year. If you think you're having a bad day, look up the day in this book, and you'll see someone had an even worse day than you. It's kind of therapeutic in a weird way. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1/2

I‘ve always loved learning about history, so naturally I found this book to be fascinating. I loved learning about all the weird, strange, and terrible things that have happened throughout the course of history. Some events were hilarious, others were more tragic, and a few were a little disturbing.
