Marsden Press

Intelligent alternate history, grounded in the choices that history might genuinely have made.

The Weight of Plausibility

History does not offer unlimited possibilities. These WW2 alternate history books begin with moments when another decision was genuinely possible — then ask what could realistically have followed. The aim is not simply to invent a different past, but to test that change against the political, military, economic and human forces already at work.

​

One decision. A different history. A world that might have been.
