Harold Macmillan, a Conservative politician became prime minister in 1957 and served until 1963. He repaired the rift between the USA and Britain created by Suez and secured for Britain co-operation on issues of nuclear defense. Paradoxically his success with the USA jeopardized his efforts to get Britain into the European Economic Community, for it was one of the reasons why de Gaulle vetoed Britain’s application to join in 1963. After early successes at home as well as abroad (he acquired the nickname ’Supermac’), his party was returned with an increased majority in 1959. T

What if? Harry Turtledove, renowned alt-historian and the editor of this anthology, calls that question "those two mournful little words." But little though they might be, they inspired some of the previous century’s most brilliant speculative fiction, including the 14 short stories collected here. And with contributors like Poul Anderson, Greg Bear, Gregory Benford, Larry Niven, Kim Stanley Robinson, Bruce Sterling, and Turtledove himself, there’s truly not a clunker in the bunch. All of these stories revolve around Turtledove’s central beard-tugging question, but they vary
