Was Wäre Gewesen, Wenn? Wendepunkte der Weltgeschichte

Given the vast scope of history, I wonder what guides the selection process for these alternate scenarios. Did they focus on what’s most impactful or most surprising?

Some scenarios seemed plausible but others were quite dark or unsettling. How do these alternate histories shape our perspective on real events?

The variety of voices adds richness, but I’m curious about what motivated Robert Cowley to bring these perspectives together into one collection.
