Why read it?
1 author picked Bad Days in History as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Far from being depressing, I found great perverse enjoyment in reading about the disasters that befell others. It is a treasure trove of well-written tales that I found hard to put down. I found the contents to be an absolute treasure-chest of absorbing, beautifully written stories.
If ever I was feeling down, this volume always lifted my spirits, knowing that my day could be a lot worse.
From John's list on history books for those who like quirky statistics and facts.
