The Button That Sparked a War: Interesting Facts About Ordinary Objects That Quietly Changed History

By J Wells

History isn't always changed by wars or leaders - sometimes it shifts because of ordinary objects.

Each chapter reveals little-known historical facts behind objects we rarely question, showing how convenience slowly became authority. Grounded in real events and written for curious readers, this book delivers surprising history facts that are easy to read and hard to forget.
If you enjoy hidden history, strange-but-true stories, and discovering how ordinary things shape the world, this book belongs on your shelf.
