Guinness "Blunders" Series
In 1991,
Guinness Publishing produced the first of a series of books cataloguing military
and historical blunders. The humorous - sometimes tragic - consequences of
misjudgement, incompetence, oversights, mishaps, gaffes and calamities are
presented in a very readable fashion. A short, parallel series of books
recounting famous sporting blunders was produced from 1994. It would appear that
other books were scheduled for the series but never reached publication.
