What If? America

Eminent Historians Imagine What Might Have Been

Más información sobre el libro

In this new collection of essays, some of the world's most important historians speculate about some of America's most intriguing crossroads. Spanning the years from independence to Watergate, What If? America poses some irresistible questions and provides some brilliant answers. Among these, Antony Beevor entertains the possibility of Eisenhower's capture of Berlin before the Soviets' arrival in 1945; Caleb Carr asks what if there had been no American Revolution; and Robert Dallek explores one of the most agonizing American 'what if's' of all: what would have happened if JFK hadn't been assassinated. Engaging, thought-provoking, and convincingly argued, these essays shed new light on the most powerful nation in the world and are indispensable for anyone remotely interested in how the world became what it is today.
