Snafu
Autor Ed Helmsen Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 apr 2025
From actor, comedian, writer, and host of the hit history podcast SNAFU, Ed Helms brings you an absurdly entertaining look at history's greatest screwups, complete with lively illustrations.
History contains a plethora of insane screwups-otherwise known as SNAFUs. Coined during World War I, SNAFU is an acronym that stands for Situation Normal: All F*cked Up. In other words, "things are pretty screwed up, but aren't they always?"
Spanning from the 1950's to the 2000's, Ed Helms steps in as unofficial history teacher for a deep dive into each decade's craziest SNAFUs. From planting nukes on the moon to training felines as CIA spies to weaponizing the weather, this book will unpack the incredibly ironic decision-making and hilariously terrifying aftermath of America's biggest mishaps.
Filled with sharp humor and lively illustrations, SNAFU is a wild ride through time that not only entertains but offers fresh insights that just might prevent history from repeating itself again and again.

AN ABSURDLY ENTERTAINING LOOK AT HISTORY'S GREATEST F*CK-UPS
Coined during World War I, SNAFU is an acronym that stands for Situation Normal: All F*cked Up. In other words, 'things are pretty screwed up, but aren't they always?'
History contains an embarrassment of insane SNAFUs. In this loving tribute to humanity's finest faceplants, actor, comedian and podcast host Ed Helms (The Hangover, The Office, The Daily Show) takes us from the 1950s to the present day, diving into each decade's craziest f*ck-ups. From a government-funded CIA programme that drugged thousands of unwitting participants with LSD to the $125 million Mars orbiter that went AWOL in space due to a basic maths error, this is a wild ride through the head-scratching blunders that have come to shape our world.
Filled with biting humour and some utterly ridiculous illustrations, SNAFU features tales that will guarantee a guffaw. In highlighting the hilarious decision-making and major f*ck-ups of history, it offers both insight and inspiration as to how we might escape history's endless blooper reel.
