Description
World history is full of fascinating events, remarkable figures and paradoxes. The Crusades were intended to be the most important element of the medieval military and religious doctrine for fighting unbelievers, yet they led to the downfall of the highly cultured and noble Byzantine civilization. The Children's Crusade was meant to be something exceptional in the eyes of Christians, but became a pogrom. Gutenberg's invention of printing was supposed to improve people's education, but ended in today's tabloids. The French Revolution was meant to bring equality and overthrow the monarchy, but in reality led to the rise of one of the greatest tyrants in modern history, Napoleon Bonaparte. Hitler loved art, yet became one of history's greatest destroyers of works of art. These and many other examples form the subject of this book.
