A Thrilling Novel of a War That Never Was
A Thrilling Novel of a War That Never Was

Alternate history war ignites 1901 America.

If you're intrigued by the "what if" scenarios of history that never occurred, '1901' might just be your type of read. Robert Conroy crafts a thrilling narrative with a daring premise — a German invasion of the United States in the early 20th century. It's a blend of historical figures in fictitious roles, wrapped up in a gripping tale of national defense. If you relish alternate history with a military edge, this could be an exhilarating addition to your bookshelf.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

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 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.
