Summary
Joseph Robert Conroy (August 24, 1938 – December 30, 2014) was an author of alternate history novels.
After he got an MBA, Conroy was a professor at Macomb Community College and taught business and economic history.
Following his early retirement, Conroy first became interested in alternate history after studying recently discovered Imperial German plans for the invasion of the United States by Kaiser Wilhelm II, which formed the basis for his first novel, 1901. He then wrote other alternative history novels during his semiretirement.
Married for over 40 years, he had one daughter and two grandchildren.
On December 30, 2014, Conroy died from cancer.
