The Collected What If?
The Collected What If?: Eminent Historians Imagining what Might Have Been : Essays | Robert Cowley
4 posts | 1 read | 1 reading | 5 to read
Historians and philosophers alike have pondered the crucial turning points of history--the events that forever altered the course of civilization and set the stage for the world in which we live today. In these essays, some of the most respected minds of our time as the question "What if...": Pontius Pilate hadn't ordered Jesus Christ's crucifixion? Abraham Lincoln hadn't abolished slavery? A Confederate aide hadn't accidentally lost General Robert E. Lee's plans for invading the North? The Allied invasion of D Day had failed? Pope Pius XII had spoken out against the Holocaust? The Mongols had succeeded in conquering Europe? --From publisher's description.

1. The tagged book was 827 pages. It's kind of cheating since I started it in 2020, and finished in 2021.
2. I really have to be in the mood to make a long term commitment to tackle a chunkster.
Thank you @TheSpineView & @Lizpixie for the tag. #Two4Tuesday

FINALLY!! I finished this 827 page chunkster that I've been plowing through for over a year. It's a deep dive into history, and the possible alternate histories that could have happened if events had gone a different way. Fans of alternate history fiction would find this very interesting, although very academic at times. 4 💥💥💥💥

📖 Embedded, The Collected What If?, The Hacking of The American Mind
📖 The tagged book, its 827 pages. I doubt I'll read anything bigger this year.

I'm starting this non-fiction chunkster tonight. 827 pages of alternate history essays. I love history and alternate history so this should be interesting.

LiteraryinLawrence Sounds fascinating! 4y
