Great British losers : heroic failures and brazen bunglers
Kerr, Gordon2011
Books, Manuscripts
Britain is a nation obsessed with runners-up and near misses: the national psyche also considers failure to be heroic and success insipid, if not downright rude. In this book Gordon Kerr has assembled a veritable menagerie of British bunglers from every conceivable walk of loserdom, covering everyone from Caractacus to Lewis Hamilton.
