Juyeon Park 94ju — Asking the question - "what if?" - is a serious and delicate proposition. Looking at back at one's life to wonder what would have happened if a few key moments had turned out differently can lead to an innocent fantasy or a darker path of regret. Would I still be alive? Would I be happier? What would I be doing with my life? These questions are no simple matter. Greenfield respects this notion by crafting both a serious alternative-narrative of key moments in recent Presidential history, while throwing in a lot of fun and inside jokes to keep things balanced. At times, Greenfield's narrative can take on elements of a liberal fantasy, and I wonder how conservatives will respond to the book. Without spoiling too much, I can say that it was gratifying to see a serious Democratic challenger throw Ronald Reagan back on his heels in a Presidential debate and to see a liberal Senator be thrust into a leadership role at a key moment in history (perhaps THE key moment in history) and succeed. Greenfield widely restrains himself in the second narrative, in which Bobby Kennedy is not shot by Sirhan Sirhan, and lives to win the Presidency. It would have been tempting to turn this into a utopian fantasy that many liberals dreamed an RFK presidency to be, but Greenfield does not give into temptation. And that's the key to the story: Greenfield understands that political fortunes do in fact turn on a dime. In each narrative, even after the initial twist that changes history, there are several more, unforeseen twists that seem entirely plausible and, in many cases, foreshadow twists that actually happened more recently in history. Look for a desperate Republican candidate picking an unknown female vice-president to shake-up the ticket (and it's not John McCain). Look for a charismatic Democratic president to get caught with his pants down in the White Office (and it's not Bill Clinton). Contemporary figures such as Barack Obama, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld pop up from time to time, and Greenfield never misses an opportunity to poke a little fun at them, but he reveals a deeper truth: politicians's views are shaped by chance as much as history, and their views in turn shape history. This book reminds us how much of a factor luck plays in determining the quality of our lives.
