Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if history had happened differently? What if . . . · Watergate hadn’t been uncovered? · Communism had failed? · Japan had not struck Pearl Harbor? · The Cuban Missile Crisis had escalated? · The Vikings had colonized North America? · Rome never fell? · The Soviets had won the space race? · The Beatles had never formed? In compelling narratives, historical experts consider these and many more intriguing questions in this fascinating look at what might have been. Each monumental event includes detailed articles by historians, professors, and scholars that pose hypothetical answers to various questions, potential timelines, and full-color illustrations that detail a different outcome.
