Edited by Niall Ferguson, Virtual History applies 'counterfactual'
arguments to decisive moments in modern history. What if Britain
had stayed out of the First World War? What if Germany had invaded
Britain in 1940? What if Nazi Germany had defeated the Soviet
Union? How would England look if there had been no Cromwell? What
if there had been no American Revolution? And what if John F.
Kennedy had lived? In this acclaimed book, leading historians from
Andrew Roberts to Michael Burleigh challenge the complacency of
traditional accounts, exploring what might have been if nine of the
most decisive moments in modern history had never happened. 'Quite
brilliant, inspiring for the layman and an enviable tour de force
for the informed reader ... A wonderful book ... lucid, exciting
and easy to read' - Literary Review 'Ferguson constructs an entire
scenario starting with Charles I's defeat of the Covenanters,
running through three revolutions that did not happen and climaxing
with the collapse of the West, ruled by an Anglo-American empire,
in the face of a mighty transcontinental, tsarist Russian imperium
... A welcome, optimistic assault on an intellectual heresy' -
Sunday Times 'A talented and imaginative team who tackle with
counterfactual verve a series of turning points' - Daily Telegraph
