review 1: I got this book as a first-reads giveaway. The book talked about what the world would have been like without the world wars, and the author describes two different possible worlds. I really enjoyed parts of it, and learning about all the many ways WWI has shaped our world was great. Most of which I had never even considered. I, however, also found a lot of it a little hard to get through. Overall, good book and one I'd definitely recommend.
review 2: This is one historian’s look at what may have happened if the archduke of Austria-Hungary had not been assassinated and World War I had not happened. Using counterfactuals, the author creates several different worlds in which politics, culture and science, along with countless individual lives, go in vastly dif... moreferent directions than in the historical world. Interesting theories and a good read! less
