The World's Greatest Mistakes is part of "The World's Greatest" series, which back in the day was a popular paperback series you could find at train station newsagents and the like. There wasn't anything here that I hadn't already read about elsewhere (the sinking of the Titanic, people believing that Martians had invaded thanks to a broadcast of War of the Worlds, etc) but it was a pleasant enough time filler while on the train.

Couple of interesting stories and facts, but also makes you think "There but for the grace of God..." ( )

Print was a bit small for my liking but interesting all the same. ( )
