"Let's Kill Alexander The Great!" ~ What If? by Robert Cowley

"What If?" by Robert Cowley is one of the greatest books you've never heard of. It's not fiction or science fiction but, could probably inspire both. A collection of essays written by historians that were asked "What if the outcome of one historical military event changed? What would happen?"  What if everything you've ever known could be undone with one change? Imagine how unpredictable reality is. Well, in this episode, we're going to find out. Plus, depending on what you believe in, it's either a lot better or Hell on Earth. Let's find out! Their answers might give you nightmares or maybe angry that they didn't happen. Join Elton as he talks about the dumb luck that made the world you know possible. Rate, review, and/or share the pod! Thank you, thank you!
