What If They Knew

By: T.R. Hendrick

Narrated by: Steven Wright

Have you ever wanted to change one thing in history? Of course you have. Now, imagine you were changing history - not for yourself - but for America!

T.R.Hendrick's new book titled What If They Knew is changing America by asking the questions you want answered.

Follow Dr. Carver Benton as he explores his only wish: to have the signers of the Constitution shore up the words that future legislators have manipulated away from their original intent.

Is this possible?

It is, for a team of scientists and historians when they bring a handful of our nation's builders to the year 2025 by secretly creating the world's most dangerous tool: time travel.

Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and a few others marvel at what history has produced. Spending several months in classrooms, they learn how the following two centuries have played out. From silent movies to IMAX theaters and horse-drawn buggies to massive airplanes.

Then, gaining first hand experience on the streets, they breathe in how their American experiment has turned out, which includes the polarity of our failing political system of today! Emotions erupt in nearly every way!

Ultimately, they must return to their own time before the constitution is signed. What will history show America once they go back? Will they succeed in rewriting history? What happens if they fail?

A very good read.

Quite a bit of thought went into writing this amazing work. Professionally narrated. Thank you.

So much potential

The premise is fantastic. If those who signed the constitution could see how it was interpreted, and misused, 250 years later, would they change it. It was great that the book does address the butterfly effect. Still, what could happen to gun control, race, poverty, etc. instead, it seems this book was written for ill informed privileged. The biggest problem being there was no human side to….anything. There are 5 main scientists. We’re never told who they are past their name and basic education background. No idea how they came together. Why were they picked for this time travel project. In the end, we do see that their dedicated to the doctor and seemingly will follow him anywhere. The social issues are not researched to include the human side. There are also passive aggressive comments concerning things like global warming and coffee shops that come out of nowhere. The sad part is even the 5 from history are not researched well. It becomes disturbing (or almost comical) when the outrage over no longer having corporal punishment was a problem with the school system.
It ends in the most radical way possible in my opinion. That the constitution doesn’t change, Fifteen years into our future, the socialist party wins and the solution is to buy into a new country where there’s little government.
I did appreciate that there were a few interesting points and that thought did go into the “what if’s.” In the end, I found it to be comical in its simplicity and the desire to bring back everything that breaks humanity.
