I wish I could unlearn this

I’m working on building one myself

I have

The Atlantropa Articles: A Novel

I have these books coming in

The Bush Soldiers

Ice by Shane Johnson

My dream book to get is

Alternate Presidents by Mike Resnick

Any suggestions on what to get next?

The film is a mockumentary about the Soviet Union landing on the moon in 1938. 

The plot follows a group of journalist in 2000 uncovering a secret document detailing the Soviet unions plans to send a craft to the moon and back.

For me it really depends

My favorite alternate history books are not even remotely in the realm of possibility but I still like a serious work every once in a while

Let’s hear the community’s thoughts

What book should I add to my collection next?

What if the space race was a tie?

Either both sides give up trying to go to the moon

Or both make it to the moon in a very close timeframe and have to deal with each other on the moon

Examples

The Axis win WW2(somehow) by making more of this or that

Historical figures act in ways completely outside of the way they acted in real life

I’m aware of what many say is the first (I talked about it in an old alternate history of the day post) but what are some other examples?

Pretty simple requirements
