Review
Mr. Farquhar's latest, "Bad Days in History," may offer consolation to the great mass of quotidian belly-achers....whose piddling misfortunes and regrets will snap neatly into perspective when set against the record of idiocy and disaster he has assembled.
--Wall Street Journal
An upbeat catalog of defeats, faux pas and falls from grace that contributed to some very crummy moments.
--The Washington Post
Bad Days in History is a wonderful morbid and entertaining collection.
--Portland Book Review
Farquhar has proven with other books such as "A Treasury of Royal Scandals" and "Behind the Palace Doors" that he can deliver fun compilations of historical tidbits. "Bad Days in History" solidifies his reputation.
