i preferred the first over the second, but own both and they are excellent.
'The Collected What If?' by Robert Cowley is a must-have for history buffs. it's basically a series of short-stories taken throughout all of history where one thing changes. it's excellent.
also, i love Robert Conroy's historical fiction novels, 1862, 1901, 1942 and both of the 1945 books. not quite as history-focused as the 'collected what if', but very entertaining and for the most part historically accurate.
