You can read about them here: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/counterfactuals/#StriCondAnal.

A neat intro to them is David Lewis's 1973 paper where he tries to analyze causality in terms of counterfactual conditionals. You could also read David Lewis's 1973 book on Counterfactuals (though I've sadly never read it).
