1862 by Robert Conroy
The Civil War comes alive in all its passion and fury-only now the Brits are fighting . . . alongside the Confederacy Outraged when the U.S. Navy seizes three Confederates aboard an English sailing ship, Britain retaliates by entering the fray in support of the Rebels-and suddenly it's a whole new war. Once again, cotton is king as the North's blockade crumbles before the might of the Royal Navy. While Lincoln confronts the monumental challenge of vanquishing mighty Britannia, the Redcoats revive their 1812 penchant for burning down American cities, and Union troops see Canada as ripe for the picking. From the Mississippi bayou to the Pennsylvania farmlands to the woods of Maine, the great armies of Generals Grant and Lee face off in the nation's deadliest conflict. And to the victor goes history.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.
