I really enjoyed reading this. It's 3 stories, and I found it pretty easy to follow when you know the history of 1960-1980. Most of the stories (at least the 2nd and 3rd) involves presidential campaigns, which is Greenfield's bailiwick. The stories were a cut above most so called Alternate Histories written by historians or science fiction writers, in my mind. I even missed the Seahawks' comeback last Sunday (not to mention the deflated footballs) I was so engrossed reading it.
