A Failure Book About Presidents
Other failure books always catch our eye. This time, we found a book titled Failures of the Presidents: From the Whiskey Rebellion and War of 1812 to the Bay of Pigs and War in Iraq, with an eye-catching, amusing image on the cover.
Here’s a passage from the book:
“What were they thinking?
In an effort to put an end to Britain and France’s policy of seizing American ships and sailors, Thomas Jefferson calls for an embargo.
The Result: 30,000 sailors put out of work; mercantile families bankrupted overnight; a nationwide economic depression; and the New England states, which depended heavily on international commerce, threaten to secede from the Union.”
The brainchild of Thomas J. Craughwell and M. William Phelps provides a look into the failures of Presidents past. The image of George Washington with egg on his face surely got the desired effect; to reach out and grab your attention. The 320 pages of this book provide and in-depth look at the failures of the men who have led the United States, along with numerous historical images and colorful illustrations. We here at Failure Blog can definitely appreciate their take on failure and success!
