What Ifs of American History : Eminent Historians Imagine What Might Have Bee

This new volume in the New York Times best-selling, widely praised What If? series presents even more provocative essays by preeminent historians who speculate on how crucial moments in American history could have turned out very differently. The 'what if?' scenarios range from imagining what might have happened if the Mayflower ended up in Virginia instead of New England, if guerilla conflict after the Civil War resulted in the 'Vietnamization' of the South, & if President Nixon hadn't resigned after the Watergate scandal.
