The Mayan Apocalypse of 2012, the Nazi's thousand-year Reich, the disastrous crash of Y2K…these events all have one thing in common: They never happened. History's Worst Predictions guides you on an intriguing tour through man's failed foresight, whether religiously misguided, scientifically unsound, purely delusional, or a regretfully inaccurate opinion (in 1955, Variety magazine claimed rock and roll was a passing fad that would “be gone by June.”). Nostradamus, Albert Einstein, Woodrow Wilson, and many others share the pages of this entertaining and fascinating book!
