Review:
PRAISE FOR THE HINGE FACTOR: 'His tales of mayhem and confusion can be gripping, informative and genuinely idea-provoking. He reveals again and again, the casual impact of happenstance.' Independent 2 'This entertaining book considers the errors and incidents that have shaped the world as we know it rather than as we planned it might be.' The Times 3 'Gripping, riveting. Fascinating. Even when you're sure you know what happened and whodunit, Erik Durschmeid provides another twist.' Scotsman 4 'Erik Durschmeid's revelations are wholly captivating.' Manchester Evening News
