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? In this thought-provoking volume (Alternate Wars), eleven outstanding science fiction writers and one legendary statesman alter the past in order to better see the present. From a Trojan War in which Helen surrenders, to a Civil War fought with robots, from a World War I in which Teddy Roosevelt tries to recapture the glory of San Juan Hill, to a World War II in which the race is not for atomic weapons but for orbital rockets, these bold excursions in time depict bizarre new worlds -- oddly familiar, disturbingly different -- a rare glimpse of what might have been.
