Worst-Case Scenario Almanac Politics

Description

Following the Worst-Case Scenario Almanac format of History and Great Oudoors, Politics presents the funny but all-too-true downside of political power,including the choicest screw-ups and blunders from around the world (with an emphasis on the US, Canada, and England). Just as The Worst Case ScenarioAlmanac: History covered world history, this volume is global in scope, looking at lists that include: Longest Filibusters, Most Notorious Dictators, Most LavishPresidential Palaces, Bloodiest Coups, and the Presidents of Bolivia. Here, too, are the hands-on, step-by step scenarios for surviving (or spinning your wayout of) political disasters and mishaps, from mismanaging a dictatorship to running for offi ce or delivering a concession speech (including, of course, How toKiss a Baby). The book will likely be broken into three major chapters covering The Campaign Trail, In Offi ce and Out of Offi ce. Like the other Almanacs,Politics will include illustrated how-to scenarios, who's who profi les of the worst political fi gures, tables, charts, trivia, narratives of political disasters andamusing/practical lessons to be learned from them.

David Borgenicht and Joshua Piven are the authors of the Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook series.
