Accidental Gods: On Men Unwittingly Turned Divine by Anna Della Subin (ISBN 9781250296870) is a compelling exploration of historical instances where men were deified, often without intent or awareness.

Spanning five centuries, the book examines figures like Christopher Columbus, Haile Selassie, and Prince Philip, analyzing how their perceived divinity intersected with moments of political upheaval, colonial expansion, and cultural transformation.

Subin delves into the complexities of how such deifications reflect and influence societal structures, offering a nuanced perspective on the interplay between power, religion, and identity in shaping the modern world.
