Joseph Cummins has identified sixteen events in history so traumatic that they changed the course of history. They are unforgettable moments that intimidated masses of soldiers, rallied armies for revenge, or shocked the public into action for better or worse. Each one lives on in infamy and has left an indelible mark on our story. Each one changed the way millions of people think. Each one had an effect that lasted hundreds of years. Here Joseph Cummins' skilled research instincts for finding every gory detail and disturbing fact is employed to impressive effect. He brings to life tragic stories and reveals their great impact on the world, from the Holocaust to the My Lai Massacre in Vietnam to the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in 1572 that pitted Catholics against Protestants for generations.
