What Ifs? of American History: Eminent Historians Imagine What Might Have Been by Robert Cowley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I enjoy reading alternative history fiction, it’s one of my favorite genres. So this collection of “What if?” stories focusing on the United States seemed like a good fit for me. The book is a good read and some of the essays are quite thought provoking, such as the one concerning Senator Joseph McCarthy. But these are really essays on what could have happened at various points in the history of the United States and not truly stories set in an alternative history.

I do recommend this book if you are interested in American History, but if you are really looking for alternative history fiction you will probably be a little disappointed with this collection of essays.
