History's Greatest Scandals & Worst Decisions delivers a gripping two-volume compendium of human folly, corruption, and catastrophic misjudgment across centuries. As a nonfiction historical reference, it presents over 100 case studies ranging from political betrayals and financial frauds to military blunders and cultural embarrassments. Wright uncovers the motivations, consequences, and personalities behind infamous events such as the Dreyfus Affair, Watergate, and the Challenger disaster, arguing that poor judgment and unchecked ambition often shape history as much as heroism. The volumes instruct readers in the anatomy of scandal, detailing how systemic failure, hubris, and moral compromise repeatedly undermine institutions and individuals.
