Bookseller Notes

A scarce book of alternative history, 'speculations by curious minds' as Squire puts it in the Introduction, with a rich list of contributors. Ronald Knox's piece is the most contemporary in its speculation, presenting - in the form of a newspaper - how it would be 'If the General Strike Had Succeeded'; Churchill considers what would have happened 'If Lee had Not Won the Battle of Gettysburg'.
