What would the world be like if the space race started during World War II? If Teddy Roosevelt had fought in World War I? If Joseph McCarthy had been elected President? Those and other questions are answered in these nine stories of alternate histories, when the world as we know it might have turned out different than it is today, if only one minor (or major) change had occurred in history. Included in this collection are: A Massachusetts Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Harry Turtledove; Ike at the Mike by Howard Waldrop; Looking for the Fountain by Robert Silverberg; The Return of William Proxmire by Larry Niven; The Arrival of Truth by Kristine Kathryn Rusch; Goddard's People by Allen Steele; Over There by Mike Resnick; Bloodstained Ground by Brian Thomsen; and We Could Do Worse by Gregory Benford.
