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)
This collection of counterfactual essays by noted historians analyzes incidents from military history spanning 3000 years to the end of the 20th-century. Broad speculative analysis is built from a wealth of detail, as some major turning points of military history are re-examined.
