Los alquimistas chinos descubrieron por accidente la primera receta de la pólvora en sus intentos fallidos por crear el elixir de la inmortalidad. Gengis Kan hizo caer todo un imperio por la ejecución en público de un embajador mongol, en violación de todas las leyes de la diplomacia y la hospitalidad.
Luis XVI acabó en la guillotina porque no tomó el carruaje adecuado al escapar de prisión. Con una visión lo más amplia posible, La historia del mundo en 50 fracasos muestra cómo los errores, descuidos y oportunidades perdidas han dado forma al mundo.
