The most popular alternate history books of 2020
Alternate history asks what if the past had gone another way. A war is won by the other side, an empire never falls, an invention arrives a century early, and the story explores the world that follows. These books mix history, speculation and often a thriller plot, and they reward readers who know the real events. This list shows the ones first published in 2020.
