Plot:

As an exercise, this has been done before, both in fiction and in academic writing, but it remains a popular game. A selection of top-class historians and writers make claims for how close history was to being different, and what the outcomes could have been. Thus, we have John Keegan on a Hitlerian victory, Geoffrey Parker on the triumph of the Spanish Armada against the English in 1588, Alistair Horne on Napoleon's triumph at Waterloo, and Victor Davis Hanson on the defeat of the putative Greek empire by the Persian in 480 BC, among many others. Fascinating and sobering. (Kirkus UK)
