Making History Stephen Fry Book

Book Comments & Discussion (2)
Funny-man Stephen Fry taking on recent history and a book about what would have happened if Hitler had never been born. The book is funny, of course, and brilliant, of course, because it is Stephen Fry. But it is also mind-bendingly thought-provoking and a very good read.
IF Hitler hadn't been born the timeline in space-time curve would change to change the events since 1939. No Korea, no nam, no JFK in essence the history as we know it in our contemporary time would not exist. WWII could actually start in 2009 as an electronic war between giants like microsoft and google. but maybe there would be no computer as Alan Turing invented the universal computer in Bletchley park, no hitler, no alan turning therefore no IT as we know today.
