I a huge U.S. History geek.  So any book about history, I'll read.  It's a blessing and a curse.  I've had this one lying around for a few years and never seemed to actually read it.  This is definitely my type of U.S. History book.  It presuposes a certain level of historical knowledge and then builds upon it.  I like the play on counterfactual history.  It appeals to my sense of whimsy and fantasy.  Plus is makes history more of a fun story.  What if?  I love it.
