Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on IHeart Radio.

Jared Knott is the author of the international bestseller, Tiny Blunders, Big Disasters,

39 tiny mistakes that changed the world forever.

And the brand new one, Tiny Blunders, Big Disasters, Book 2,

the many tiny mistakes that Change the World Forever.

Jared was a decorated combat infantry officer in Vietnam in the First Air Cavalry Division.

Jared, welcome to Coast to Coast A.M. How are you?

Thank you very much, Richard. It's an honor to be here.

It's a great concept for a book. How do you even begin researching something

like this? Or do they just, are there so many examples? It's more a question of which ones

don't you want to include in the book. Oh, yes, it's amazing when you start digging into history

how many goof-ups there are out there. People don't look at history that way we kind

of see history as a series of large, ponderous events. This invasion happened in such a date,

this war took place between these months and these years and so on and so forth. But really,

when you dig into it, it's this history, history is a mosaic of a lot of small, tiny events that compose those major events.

And with some of those tiny events are mistakes, and some of them set off a domino effect that can have a catastrophic result in the end.

And that's what I do with my two books is to turn history

sideways and look at it from a unique perspective and it's amazing how many

smike's tiny mistakes small mistakes blunders goop-ups have had horrible

horrible consequences long term I wish you taught history to me in high school

I mean we we learn names, we learn dates, we

learn places and events, but we don't learn about the human aspect to historical events.
