{"product_id":"1920-americas-great-war-1-baen","title":"1920: America's Great War (1) (BAEN)","description":"NATIONAL BEST SELLER IN HARDCOVER By the author of breakout WW II era alternate history Himmler’s War and Rising Sun, a compelling alternate history thriller. After winning WW I, Germany invades America in 1920, marching through California and Texas as a desperate nation resists.\n\nConsider another 1920: Imperial Germany has become the most powerful nation in the world. In 1914, she had crushed England, France, and Russia in a war that was short but entirely devastating.\n\nBy 1920, Kaiser Wilhelm II is looking for new lands to devour. The United States is fast becoming an economic super-power and the only nation that can conceivably threaten Germany. The U.S. is militarily inept, however, and is led by a sick and delusional president who wanted to avoid war at any price. Thus, Germany is able to ship a huge army to Mexico to support a puppet government.\n\nHer real goal: the invasion and permanent conquest of California and Texas.\n\nAmerica desperately resists as the mightiest and most brutal army in the world in a battle fought on land, at sea, and in the air as enemy armies savagely marched up on California, and move north towards a second Battle of the Alamo. Only the indomitable spirit of freedom can answer the Kaiser's challenge.\n\nAbout 1920: America’s Great War:\n\"Conroy offers up a believable scenario and heroics galore on the part of the good guys, ranging from trench fighting to the first tank charge. . . .good fun for alternate history buffs.\"—Library Journal\n\nAbout Robert Conroy's Rising Sun:\n“Conroy extrapolates a new and militarily plausible direction for WWII . . .
