"A Short History of Western Philosophy" by Bertrand Russell will probably give you what you need (except for Wittgenstein who was a contemporary of Russell's).
Sorry not to answer your question. Unfortunately a direct answer would be a little too long and involved.

All right.
Let's start with obvious:
Wittgenstein's entire program(math being real) got derailed by Godel's incompleteness theorem[1].
Others are less obvious, but here is my opinion:
1. Plato - assuming that the world of forms is real without evidence, also predicting that the prefect state is run by "philosophers kings"[2]
2. Kant -- his idea of synthetic a priori is pure wishful thinking.[3]

The only fault they could have is if they didn't believe in Jesus... That is if they did't accept him as their Lord and Savior!!!!
