Il y a ceux qui marquent l'histoire... et ceux qui y laissent surtout une trace... de fumée.
Ce troisième volume explore les morts les plus spectaculaires et absurdes, dans une période où la technologie et l'optimisme aveugle formaient un cocktail aussi prometteur que mortel.
Aviation artisanale, expériences électriques, armes improvisées, engins à moteur bricolés: autant d'innovations détournées par des esprits audacieux, mais dénués du moindre instinct de survie.
Des cabarets parisiens aux champs de bataille, des laboratoires de fortune aux baignoires en haute mer, chaque récit montre comment la confiance absolue se heurte à la réalité implacable.
Points forts du tome:
50 récits réels sur fond de guerres et d'avancées technologiques
Illustrations détaillées dans un style 1900-1930
Mélange d'ironie mordante et de rigueur historique
Idéal pour les amateurs d'histoires insolites et véridiques
