Collected What If?: Eminent Historians Imagine What Might Have Been / Cowley, Robert 1999  Book
Cowley, Robert Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Edition 2001
Publication New York, G.P.Putnam's Sons, 1999.
Description xvi, 828pThick Black Spine
Summary/Abstract What's great about this book is that it focuses on two main threads of time: The Actual, and the Counter-factual. In frank and easy narrative, the authors of these essays give you the facts of a particular battle, or event in time and then twist that fateful day in the opposite direction, giving you a disastrous (or beneficial) outcome. It really proposes incredible changes of the present if said past events changed as easily as the turning of a leaf in the wind. Every (hi)story, is described in detail and the counter-factual then taken into consideration displaying the growing changes of a different future, changing the course of history into imaginable scenarios that completely reverse our present.

Virtual history: Alternatives and counterfactuals / Ferguson, Niall 2011  Book
Ferguson, Niall Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication London, Penguin, 2011.
Description x, 548pWhite spine
Summary/Abstract What if Britain had stayed out of the First World War? What if Germany had won the Second? Historians have traditionally refused to ask questions of the past, preferring to assume that whatever happened was inevitable. But Virtual History challenges this complacency as leading historians apply "counterfactual" arguments to decisive moments in modern history.
