"Fluent and entertaining." - "The Times". "Ferguson ...constructs an entire scenario starting with Charles I's defeat of the Covenanters, running through three revolutions, the American, the French and the Russian - that did not happen and climaxing with the collapse of the West, ruled by an Anglo American empire, in the face of a mighty transcontinental, tsarist Russian imperium...A welcome, optimistic assault on an intellectual heresy that has done much, much more harm than good." - Brian Appleyard, "Sunday Times". "Quite brilliant, inspiring for the layman and an enviable tour de force for the informed reader ...A wonderful book ...lucid, exciting and easy to read." - Claus von Bulow, "Literary Review". "Sizzling essays hot from the academic griddle." - Piers Brendon, "Mail on Sunday". "The implications of "Virtual History" deserve to be meditated by every historian ...a talented and imaginative team of historians who tackle with counterfactual verve a series of mostly twentieth century turning points." - Christopher Andrew, "Daily Telegraph."
