Wholesale Impossible Histories: Pivotal Moments 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.(This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
