What If? 2: Eminent Historians Imagine What Might Have Been31 reviews

Berkley Trade, 2002

Thought Provoking

+ Interesting history and hope for the future

Found the book to be very thought provoking. I didn't always agree with what was written but in most cases the authors made a good case for their idea. The only negative was that I thought many of the stories were too short and did not give the authors time to expand on their theories.
