		Although Sobel is primarily a business historian, having authored _The Epic Age of North American Industry_ and _Men of Great Wealth: Operations of the Kramer-Benedict Combine_, he is best known to the general public for _For Want of a Nail_, a dual history of the USM and CNA.
		Symptomatic of Sobel's unwillingness to depart too radically from actual history is the appearance of historical figures such as Queen Victoria, Charles Darwin, Karl Marx and Thomas Edison, despite the decades of altered history that precede their births.
		By the end of Sobel's history in 1971, Europe is reduced to cannibalism, Asia is trapped under a brutal Communist dictatorship, and the USA is consumed by incessant racial strife.

	Amazon.de: English Books: For Want of a Nail: If Burgoyne Had Won at Saratoga (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Robert Sobel takes a step sideways and presents the alternative version: reinforcements arrive at Saratoga, Gates men flee, and Burgoyne is victorious.
		Sobel's other work is in the field of economics, and he puts that knowledge to good use by detailing the economic history of this timeline, going through bull markets and recessions.
		I was amazed and amused at the extent to which Sobel carries the joke, including a 15-page bibliography of "sources" from the other history, a preface by himself from the other history, and a closing "critique" supposedly by another historian in the other history.

		The author, the noted economic historian Robert Sobel, must be numbered with Tolkien among the handful of creators of a complete imaginary world.
		Sobel is sparing of the use of real people in his counterfactual history.
		Sobel has succeeded in suggesting a plausible modern world that never experienced the great ideological divides of the 19th and 20th centuries.

		Sobel instead exposes the real Coolidge, whose legacy as the most Jeffersonian of all twentieth-century presidents still reverberates today.
		Sobel delves into the record to show how Coolidge cut taxes four times, had a budget surplus every year in office, and cut the national debt by a third in a period of unprecedented economic growth.
		Through research and analysis, Sobel reveals Coolidge’s clear record of political successes and delivers the message that Coolidge had for our time a message that speaks directly to our most important political debates.

	Book Review: Coolidge: An American Enigma by Robert Sobel and The Presidency of Calvin Coolidge by Robert Ferrell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Robert Ferrell’s effort is the more workmanlike of the two.
		If he failed in the presidency, this was the major failure.” In reality, aside from his failure to understand the benefits of free trade, Coolidge may have had the best grasp of how the economy works among all twentieth-century presidents.
		Sobel also reports that Coolidge believed that “government should remain out of the economy, and businessmen should not interfere with the proper functions of government.” Again, given today’s convoluted tax system, web-like regulatory regime, campaign-finance controversies, and extensive corporate-welfare expenditures, his philosophy looks very sound.

	For Want of a Nail by Robert Sobel, 1853672815, Lowest Book Price Finder
		Sobel goes into detail in a history that has to be read to be believed.
		It's not an alternate history novel -- it's an alternate history survey text from a world where the American Revolution was defeated and the patriots made the long march to resettle in Texas ("Jefferson" in their history) just as the Loyalists fled to Canada and the Carribbean in our timeline.
		Sobel is an economic historian, so the aspects of developing economies and political structures are of more interest to him than pursuing the "Great Man" theory of history.

	Book Review of When Giants Stumble: Classic Blunders and How to Avoid Them by Robert Sobel. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		As Sobel studied business, and gave talks on blunders, he found audiences were not interested in IBM, Edsel, Coca-Cola and others, "because these were well covered" and the people already knew the stories.
		As Sobel correctly observed, planning involves peering into the future, and as Mark Twain noted, "it is difficult making predictions, especially about the future." For the historian, the problem is putting the actions into the context of the time.
		Sobel quotes Mark Twain: "History does not repeat itself, but it rhymes." There are some things you can learn from the past, but Churchill said that chance determines outcomes: "History with its flickering lamp stumbles along the trail of the past."

		It won't come close to Chet's masterpiece for pain, but Sobel didn't leave me with much reason to hope for a happy future.

		Over the years, Robert Sobel (Dangerous Dreamers, For Want of a Nail, Coolidge) has discovered that you can learn as much from analyzing a business's failure as its success.
		What was common to all of these companies was that their failure was preceded by great success, which should give many of today's movers and shakers plenty to think about.
		Robert Sobel's recent death denies all of us any additional contributions by him to a cohesive, comprehensive, and circumspect understanding of the business world.

		He is author of more than two dozen books on American economic and business history, including Herbert Hoover and the Onset of the Great Depression and Coolidge: An American Enigma.
		Calvin Coolidge was a salty, original character, an unmistakable home-grown, native American product, and his was one of those typically American careers, which begin on the sidewalks, or on the farm, and prove to the youth of the nation that this is still the land of unbounded opportunity.
