Alternate Heroes by Gregory Benford
Second in a series of anthologies featuring alternate histories. What would have happened if history had been different: if the major events that shaped our times had occurred in a different way, or not at all? From a Confederacy that won the Civil War to a Europe converted to Viking paganism, these bold excursions in time depict bizarre new worlds, oddly familiar, disturbingly different, a glimpse of WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
