1862

Серия: "-"

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.

Robert Conroy

Robert Conroy is the author of three alternate history novels, "1901", "1862", and "1945". His next novel, "1942" will be released in February, 2009.

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. His most recent novel, "1945", deals with what would have occurred if the Japanese had not surrendered at the end of World War Two and a land invasion of the Japanese Home Islands was required.

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 is also quite remarkable.

Conroy is retired from automotive management, and currently teaches business and economic history at a local college. He lives in suburban Detroit.
