Book summaryThis collection of essays underscores the significance of military history by asking what might have happened if major events such as D-Day or the defeat of the Spanish Armada had turned out differently. Among the contributors are David McCullough, James M. McPherson, Stephen Ambrose, Lewis H. Lapham, among William H. McNeill. Media reviews"It is the deft mastery of such craftsmen as John Keegan, David McCullough, Alistair Horne, Stephen Sears, James McPherson and Stephen Ambrose that justifies these otherwise rather idle speculations. Their tightly argued pieces, adhering to the basic facts, demonstrate the narrow limits of plausibility within which contrafactual history operates." |
