Impossible Histories: The Soviet Republic of Alaska, the United States of Hudsonia, President Charlemagne, and Other Pivotal Moments of History That Never Happened

This is the ultimate book of things that never happened ... but could have! What is the connection between women’s suffrage and the telephone? How could the Middle East have been brought a millennia of peace by elephants? Could a play from Sophocles’s have rescued the twentieth century?  Impossible Histories adroitly spans continents and centuries alike, with results that are by turns strange, hilarious, and tragic.
