Tsouras, Peter G., Kenneth Macksey, and Jonathan North (eds.). Greenhill's Alternate Decisions
Summary: Anthologies of speculative articles written by military historians, with ten articles per volume. Each article is structured to begin with a description of real history, which then flows relatively seamlessly onto some alternate path. A short epilog indicates the nature of the historical divergence and discusses some of the choices the author made in writing the article. The articles usually also include copious endnotes, some real and some allohistorical.
Series note: A series of eight anthologies, published beginning in 1995 and then almost annually from 2000 through 2006, by Greenhill Books and including in order of publication, Macksey's The Hitler Options, North's The Napoleon Options, Tsouras's Rising Sun Victorious, Tsouras's Third Reich Victorious, Tsouras's Cold War Hot, Tsouras's Dixie Victorious, Tsouras's Battle of the Bulge, and Tsouras's Hitler Triumphant.
