Not sure what you are looking for :confused: Perhaps Counterfactual History? If so look for the "What If" and "More What" if books. BTW, its "are there any?"

Umm try those books we recommended then. As for ancient war fare tech, just type it in the Amazon.com search engine.

Harry Turtledove has an ongoing series about "What if the Confederacy" had won the Civil War. He's gotten to WWII, so far....

He also recently published a book about "What if the Japanese" had invaded Pearl Harbor, instead of bombing the snot out of it.

He also has a number of other books of both sci-fi and fantasy, including one about an alien invasion during the Second World War, a series titled "Alternate Generals", among others.

Meh. Much better done by Philip K. Dick and Len Deighton in The Man In The High Castle and SS-GB respectively. Fatherland read like an airport novel.
