About the Author:
Robert Conroy is the author of the hugely-popular alternate history novels Red Inferno: 1945, 1945, 1942, 1901 and 1862. 1942, which is set within a Japanese conquest of Hawaii, won the prestigious Sidewise Award for alternate histories. Conroy has written for Military History magazine and has traveled extensively in Europe where he’s taken a special interest in battlefields, historical collections and castles. After a first career in business, Conroy has turned his lifelong passion for writing and military history into an immensely satisfying new occupation. He is married, lives in southeastern Michigan, and, when not writing, teaches business and economic history at a local college.
From Booklist:
Fans of the author’s previous alternate-history novels (such as 1942) should enjoy this new one, which springs from an intriguing premise: What if Adolf Hitler had been killed in the summer of 1944, not by an assassination plot but by accident? How would “the murderous and sinister Heinrich Himmler” have responded? How would the direction of the war have changed? Readers unfamiliar with World War II history might feel at loose ends here, but those who are able to spot the divergences between actual and alternate history will be held spellbound by the author’s careful—and, it appears, militarily sound—construction of a new war and (by implication) a new twentieth century. Dialogue that rings true and sharply drawn characters (both real and fictional, on both sides of the war) add to the novel’s appeal. Conroy might not be as big a name as, say, Harry Turtledove, but he’s definitely an alternate-history writer worth getting to know. --David Pitt
