Perhaps because its a British publication, there are a good number of sections about alternative British history, such as: What if Charles I had won the English Civil War? What if Queen Victoria had been assassinated? What if the Jacobite rising had succeeded? In each section a schol This is a well illustrated 'bookazine' about alternative history. In each section a scholar is interviewed on how history might have played out differently. Here, there were many things I hadn't considered before.
Also, some things here and there I disagree with, and some things not imagined at all. The late academic Richard Pipes was asked, what if the Bolsheviks hadn't come to power in Russia? I'm in basic agreement with his views on this. But I would also add that an alternate Russia might been been a major contributor to the Digital Revolution, perhaps having a counter-part to America's Silicon Valley. I submit that conditions for a second Silicon Valley existed, such as Russia's strengths in math and the sciences.
The last part of this publication gives an over-view of alternate history novels. This part is good. I would have liked to see short stories for recommended reading. I've read some quite good ones. This book might give fiction writers ideas. A "bookazine" full of alternate history scenarios, both the major ones you'd expect Rome never fell and some unusual choices what if the Ottomans joined the Allies in WWI? The scenarios are backed up with input from historians, which occasionally gives us less fantastical but more plausible results such as the timeline where China discovered America and The only nitpicks are some editing problems here and there, but those problems don't seriously detract fro A "bookazine" full of alternate history scenarios, both the major ones you'd expect Rome never fell and some unusual choices what if the Ottomans joined the Allies in WWI?
The only nitpicks are some editing problems here and there, but those problems don't seriously detract from the experience.
