History's Worst Predictions

And the People Who Made Them

Eric Chaline

Description

This book peels back the layers of history to expose the naivety and irrationality of humanity's prophetic remarks. Every aspect of human life-religion, politics, science, economy, culture and war-has provided material for the most far-fetched and inaccurate of predictions.

Organised chronologically from Antiquity to modern times and beyond, chapters include:

  • The "First" Second Coming: Saints Mark, Matthew, Luke and Paul
  • Plagiarist Prophet: Nostradamus
  • Historical Imperative: Karl Marx
  • Man of Peace: Neville Chamberlain
  • All Shook Up: Variety Magazine
