Hindsight hurts.

* The British Parliament passes the Stamp Act, having the American colonies pay for their own defenseâ€”which instead starts a revolution.
* In 1929, President Herbert Hoover decides to let the economy fix itselfâ€¦and the Great Depression gets greater.
* Nixon tapes everything he says in the Oval Office, believing it will all be of great historical value. He turns out to be right when those same tapes cost him his presidency.
* Charles the First cuts a deal with the Irish to fight Parliament that instead loses him public supportâ€”and later his head.

With a hundred more bombshell blundersâ€”from Pickettâ€™s Charge to the Lewinski scandalâ€”this compendium takes a fascinating look at some of historyâ€™s greatest turns for the worse.
