Cautionary Tales by Tim Harford.

Takes stories of errors, mistakes, catastrophes of the far and recent past and analyses the causes of them and what lessons can be learned. Everything from assigning success to personality over circumstance to the "curse of information" to what to do in a plane crash.

Interesting, insightful, exceptionally well written and presented, always interesting and entertaining.
