Overview

You will never think about recent American history in the same way again.

These things are true:

  • In December 1960, a suicide bomber paused when he saw the young President-elect John F. Kennedy's family come to the door to wave good-bye....
  • In June 1968, Robert F. Kennedy declared victory in California, and then instead of heading to another ballroom, as intended, was hustled off through the kitchen....
  • In October 1976, President Ford made a critical gaffe in a debate against Jimmy Carter, turning the tide in an election that had been rapidly narrowing.

    But what if they had gone the other way? In three narratives based on memoirs, oral histories, fresh reporting with key participants, and his own knowledge of the principal players, Jeff Greenfield explores how accidents of fate could have altered the course of history. The scenarios that Greenfield depicts are startlingly realistic, rich in detail, shocking in their projections, but always deeply, remarkably plausible.

    Great fun!

    A great read and a lot of fun for anyone who loves the inside politics side. Each situation is plausible, entertaining and even funny.

    Awesome Book

    If you are into modern history and politics, this is a must read. It is well written and has lots of historical and political plots and turns that made me really think about how the world would have have been different if the three events in the book really happened. While it full of facts and information, Jeff Greenfield did a great job of making it easy to read and follow. Would love to read a second book on three different events
