A poorly designed document by a single clerk in a county altered the outcome of a presidential election, ultimately sparking a major war.

Knott's well-researched and factual anecdotes are not only hypnotic but also addictive, keeping readers glued to the pages long into the night. The book delves into moments of human weakness at critical junctures, showcasing the "Butterfly Effect" in human history.
In conclusion, “Tiny Blunders/Big Disasters” offers a fresh perspective on history, shedding light on how seemingly insignificant errors can have monumental impacts. Dive into this riveting read and discover the hidden truths behind some of the most significant events in history.
