What was your biggest fuck up (or thing that happened beyond your control that messed things up)?

I love looking at history from a cultural lens, and personally feel like I can connect and empathize with those stories, can put myself in the shoes of a black man in the 1940s, or a Chinese American during World War II....military history for me how ever, seems to whitewash all personality from it’s lessons, and seems to constantly try to show a “right and wrong” side to be on, without talking about the context of how these events played out this way.... particularly when it comes to expansion in the pacific, like oh if USA Hadn’t taken all these islands and dropped all these bombshells, then the DIRTY ENEMIES WOULD HAVE WON, but very little is said about the relationships that the people on those islands had with either side. Can you suggest any authors for me who delve more into the anthropological and cultural sides of those types of events?

Thanks so much I’m adding these to my reading list :D
