Short stories speculating on changing history by altering one variable. The one that sticks with me is the story about Ghandi trying to deal with the Nazis instead of the British. The British kept trying to deal in a somewhat civilized way with Ghandi's rebellion. In this story, the Nazis just shoot him down. Problem solved. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0553282794, Mass Market Paperback)

What would have happened if history had been different-if the major events that shaped our times had occurred in a different way-or not at all? From a Confederacy that won the Civil War to a Europe converted to Viking paganism.These bold excursions in time depict bizarre new worlds-oddly familiar, disturbingly different-a glimpse of WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
