Bøger af Jeff Greenfield

Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if historical events turned out differently? Dive into a one-of-a-kind alternate history book that hypothesizes what may have happened if Rome never fell, if Abraham Lincoln wasn't assassinated, if Germany had won World War I, and so much more. Each monumental event includes detailed articles by expert historians, professors, and scholars that pose hypothetical answers to various questions, potential timelines, and full-color illustrations that detail a different outcome. What if... Watergate hadn't been uncovered? Communism had failed? Japan had not struck Pearl Harbor? The Cuban Missile Crisis had escalated? The Vikings had colonized North America? The Beatles never formed? The Soviets had won the space race?

The New York Times bestseller from Jeff Greenfield, the renowned CBS News senior political correspondent and veteran of CNN and ABC news, offering an alternative history of America. 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.
