Bill Fawcett, author of 100 Mistakes That Changed History, offers a compendium of 101 all-new mammoth mistakes-from the ill-fated rule of Emperor Darius III to the equally ill-fated search for WMDs in Iraq-that will, unfortunately, never be forgotten by history.

When asked to name a successor, Alexander the Great declared that his empire should go "to the strongest". . . but would rival factions have descended into war if he'd been a little more specific?
