1901 by Robert Conroy

The year is 1901. Germany's navy is the second largest in the world; their army, the most powerful. But with the exception of a small piece of Africa and a few minor islands in the Pacific, Germany is without an empire. Kaiser Wilhelm II demands that the United States surrender its newly acquired territories: Guam, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippines. President McKinley indignantly refuses, so with the honor and economic future of the Reich at stake, the Kaiser launches an invasion of the United States, striking first on Long Island.

Now the Americans, with their army largely disbanded, must defend the homeland. When McKinley suffers a fatal heart attack, the new commander in chief, Theodore Roosevelt, rallies to the cause, along with Confederate general James Longstreet. From the burning of Manhattan to the climactic Battle of Danbury, American forces face Europe's most potent war machine in a blazing contest of will against strength.

For Baen Publications, Robert Conroy wrote a series of very popular alternate history novels, including Himmler's War and Rising Sun. The renowned Sidewise Prize for alternate histories went to his 1942, which is set during a Japanese occupation of Hawaii. Conroy has contributed to Military History magazine and has traveled extensively around Europe, with a focus on battles, historical collections, and castles. Conroy has turned his lifelong interest for writing and military history into an enormously fulfilling new vocation after a first career in business. He is married, lives in southeastern Michigan, and teaches business and economic history at a local college when he is not writing.
