1942 is an alternate history novel written by Robert Conroy. It was first published, as an e-book, by Ballantine Books on February 24, 2009, with a hardcover edition following from the same publisher in March 2009.[1] The novel won the 2009 Sidewise Award for Alternate History.[2]
In the wake of an attack on Pearl Harbor that is far more successful than in reality, the novel depicts a fictitious Japanese invasion and conquest of Hawaii in late 1941 and the ensuing struggle by the United States to regain the islands in 1942.
