'The Mammoth Book of Alternate Histories'

The book contains many short stories of alternate histories. The stories which have done most impression on me are those with protagonists who feel the transition between alternate timelines on a conscious level; for example the description could be a transition between you and an alternate you living in a timeline where the Third Reich only persecuted their jewish population to a limited degree, then regretted their actions and instead worked towards building a brighter egalitarian civilization. Then as you (the protagonist) know THIS you is you, your 'soul' is ripped back to your timeline in excruciating mental pain where the memories of the Third Reich's atrocities still existed. What else has caught my eye are those stories which have shown an alternate mentality due to a certain event never happening in the alternate timeline, like the fall of Rome. Alternate Histories orginate from the nostalgic, regretful question of "what if?". Without the fall of Rome there might never occur a need for Alternate History as there would have be no regrets for a Roman, historically. There would be nostalgia but no regret, and so that would be the reason why the protagonist of this story (an author) never understands the concept of alternate history, even when a genius presents this unique concept to him.
