Robert Conroy is the author of four alternate history novels, 1862, 1901, 1942, and 1945.
His first novel, 1901, deals with a German invasion of Long Island. His second novel, 1862, is based on what would have happened had England entered into the American Civil War on the side of the Confederacy. 1945, deals with what would have occurred if the Japanese had not surrendered at the end of World War II and a land invasion of the Japanese home islands was required. His most recent novel "1942 ," tells of the Japanese conquest of Hawaii after the attack on Pearl Harbor is far more successful than actually happened. A fifth novel, Red Inferno: 1945, is scheduled for February, 2010. It deals with a war between the Allies and the Soviet Union following the controversial move by the Allies towards Berlin. The move is tragically misunderstood by Stalin.
Conroy has earned praise for his meticulous research and the historical accuracy he brings to his work. While many of the characters in his novels are historical figures, the character development for these as well as the fictional characters advances through the novels.
Conroy is retired from automotive management, and currently teaches business and economic history at a local college. He lives in suburban Detroit.
