Robert Conroy specialized in alternate history fiction, writing sixteen standalone novels between 1995 and 2018. His books take real military conflicts and ask what would have happened if key events had gone differently. His debut, 1901, imagined a German invasion of the United States at the turn of the 20th century, and he continued to explore similar premises across two decades of writing.
Conroy’s novels cover an impressive range of time periods and conflicts. 1862 reimagines the Civil War, 1945 and Red Inferno: 1945 tackle different scenarios for the end of World War II, and Rising Sun explores a more successful Japanese campaign in the Pacific. Liberty: 1784 goes back to the American Revolution, while 1920: America’s Great War invents a conflict that never happened. His later books, including Himmler’s War, North Reich, and Germanica, continued to mine World War II for alternate possibilities.
Conroy passed away in 2014, but two posthumous novels, The Day After Gettysburg and Interregnum, appeared in 2018. His books appeal to military history enthusiasts who enjoy speculative fiction grounded in real historical knowledge. Each novel requires the reader to accept a single changed premise and then follows the military and political consequences with careful attention to period detail.
