Rather than yet another selection of fictional "what if" short stories of speculative fiction, this volume is a collection of fascinating, well-written (and -- yes -- even ENTERTAINING!) essays and stories regarding what many historians of American history consider the epic tipping point of the American Civil War -- the July 1863 battle in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Each contributor offers significant insight into how the battle may have strategically been altered, had only a few military decisions been significantly changed, both before and after the battle.
