Virtual History: Alternatives and Counterfactuals (English Edition)
What if Britain had stayed out of the First World War? What if Germany had won the Second? How would England look if there had been no Cromwell? What would the world be like if Communism had never collapsed? And what if John F. Kennedy had lived?
In this acclaimed book, leading historians from Andrew Roberts to Michael Burleigh explore what might have been if nine of the most decisive moments in modern history had never happened.

Erika Teng星5つ中5つ"what if"
2013年2月28日に英国でレビュー済みa good book, but more academic than expected. the very long introduction drowns you in the 'history of history' and becomes slightly pompous, and it seems Ferguson feels the need to justify to the academic community why counterfactual history should be taken seriously. the chapter themselves are ok, but there are better counterfactal works out there. a lot of time in each chapter is spent on telling what actually happened, and too little time is given to the "what if" part of the question. also, most of the chapters are focused on newer history (20th century), so for someone like me, more interested in older history, it wasnt great.
a good read, but some knowledge about history (particularly western European) would be useful.

2017年12月14日にインドでレビュー済みFerguson emphatically underscores the point that counterfactual historical speculation can be an enlightening enterprise. Very important and useful contribution to the the debate in today's context of political movements veering off to the right across the globe. Ferguson's "Afterword: A Virtual History" is something that stays with you much after you have shut the book. In this essay, he attempts to synthesize elements of each of the previous essays into an account of the last three hundred fifty years that increasingly departs from the history we know, leading to a world in which an increasingly besieged Anglo-American is challenged and subdued by the rising power of a Germany-led EU and the menacing beliigerence of Putin's Russia. In his view, and rightly so, today's dominant ideological crosscurrents are nationalism and religion having overpowered or, if you so like, sidelined, Communism and even democracy.
David Ahlstrom星5つ中5つExcellent discussion of the value of and approach to counterfactuals
2007年12月25日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みNiall Ferguson has written several fine books that are must-reads for educated people. These include 'The Pity of War' (on WWI), 'The War of the World' (about the major conflicts in the 20th century including a stunning chapter on the 'armed slave labor camp' that was the Soviet Union), and this book -- Virtual History' on counterfactual or "what if" history. Some amazon reviewers have obviously completely misunderstood this book - it is designed to explore some counterfactual questions, but primarily it is intended to explain and defend the value of counterfactual history. Feguson makes perhaps the finest explanation and defense of counterfactual reasoning. This will obviously not make some people happy, as they would rather hear creative historical what ifs, ala Hollywood. But for historians and other social scientists who need to use counterfactual reasoning, this book is an outstanding resource. By all means read this book, and the other fine works of Niall Ferguson - one of the outstanding comparative historians of our day (or any day).
EmmaPeel星5つ中5つInteressanter Ansatz
2017年4月6日にドイツでレビュー済みNiall Ferguson ist ein fundierter intelligenter geistreicher Historiker. Sein Ansatz ist interessant and hilft sich auszumalen "Was gewesen wäre, wenn..." Sehr empfehlenswert!
John Utting星5つ中3つNot bad could be better
2021年8月22日にオーストラリアでレビュー済みWould have preferred a much more narrative structure, more fictionalised approach would've made it much more interesting. But still not a bad read
