Description: American history is a series of decisions and actions, many of which would have produced dramatically different outcomes had they been overlooked, reversed, or just different. Now veteran pop historian Steve Tally walks us through a number of important moments when a single decision changed the course of history. From the legendary (What if Washington had chosen not to cross the Delaware River?) to the overlooked (What if Neil Armstrong had chosen to abort the moon landing when his computers indicated that he was about to crash?) to the obscure (What if Teddy Roosevelt had actually banned football, as he was about to do in 1906), this entertaining and lucid example of alternative history at its best reveals just how strong the connection is between human action and global events, and how completely different our world could have been.
