Reprint. Industry reviews "It is the deft mastery of such craftsmen as John Keegan, David McCullough, Alistair Horne, Stephen Sears, James McPherson and Stephen Ambrose that justifies these otherwise rather idle speculations. Their tightly argued pieces, adhering to the basic facts, demonstrate the narrow limits of plausibility within which contrafactual history operates." Washington Post Book World - Edwin M.
