Then Everything Changed: Stunning Alternate Histories of American Politics: JFK, RFK, Carter, Ford,Reagan Audiobook

" A fair look at the political system in America. The wars both military and political were very interesting. "

" Three interesting alternate political histories revolving around the 1960, 1968 and 1976 presidential elections. Not sure I agree with all of Greenfield's conclusions (for example, I think Nixon's candidacy would've imploded if it became clear he would face another Kennedy) but they are definitely well-researched and cleverly presented. "

" Interesting book. We all love "what if's" but this one takes it to high levels. What if RFK survived the assassination attempt was the most fascinating. The others are a stretch and not as dramatic, but fun nonetheless. Only problem is the book is imbued with the mainstream media liberal approach that these kinds of solutions are the best for the country. Not so much. "

" Only read the first 100 pages - too boring "

" This is a very intriguing book of what ifs that focuses on the interweaving lives of JFK, LBJ and RFK. As someone too young to remember the turmoil and struggles of the 1960's this book does provide interesting hypothetical scenarios and takes great pains to describe opinions and thoughts. For me though, it was too painfully long and executed with such great detail that I could only make it through the first 2/3s. If my "to-read" was shorter i would have hung in there! "

" I did not finish this book. I think the idea of re-writing history is amazing, but I prefer fact to fiction in this case. I also noticed some historical inaccuracies, which made it harder to finish. "

" This is definitely a 'must read' for anyone who enjoys political history. This is a novel but written by an author who knows politics and history and can make a reasonable projection of what might have happened with a slight twist of history. An interesting read and very readable "

" I expected a different kind of book. I did enjoy the backroom dealings based upon the author's experiences as a reporter during these times. "

" I was initially very interested in the book, but after a couple of chapters became bored. Because none of this happened. So what do the imaginings matter? "

" Enjoyed the first of the three stories that I have read so far, enjoyable and likely come back to read other two in the future at some point. "

" I love "what if" history, especially when it very easily could have occurred; great book! "

" Very good political Alt. Hist. "

" Enjoyed the book. The author obviously knows the politicians he is writing about. Just think: if Gerald Ford had been just a tiny bit smarter we would not have had to endure Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush! If only! "

" Interesting alternate history, though I became bogged down by some of the details. Perhaps it was my own lack of passion for American History, but I actually didn't finish the book. "

" I would have given this one 5 stars, but I hate to gush. That said, this is a great read for anyone who has ever wondered "what if". "

" Intriguing look into how things could have been had certain historical events been altered, even in a minor way. Great book for history buffs, especially of the JFK era and beyond. "

" Starting slow, I'll give it a chance. <br/> <br/>Still slow. Can't get past Kennedy assasination. <br/> "

" The alternative histories here were a great idea, heavy with details. But by the second section, I was ready to return it to the library.the details begin to make it drag, and there were too many names and facts I was unfamiliar with. Can't recommend to anyone I know.<br/> "
