| Summary, etc | Everybody knows who was the first man on the moon; but who was the last? We know the dodo is extinct, but where was the last one seen - and how did it die? From the last of the Aztecs to the last days of the Berlin wall, this book looks at the conclusions and tragic endings of history - what ended with a bang and what sidled out with a whimper. |
