Harry Turtledove's one of the better ones, but some of his stuff really wavers in quality since he has Protection From Editors. Eric Flint's done some solid ISOT work, especially the 1632 series.I want to get into more AH content.

I dunno, Conroy really succumbs to lazy stereotypes a lot. His 1901 in particular is choc-full of All Germans Are Nazis stereotypes to the point of absurdity and features a German invasion of New York. In 1901. Despite the Kaiserliche Marine still being mostly a joke at that time and the Brits ruling the waves.Robert Conroy's stuff is also pretty good. 1945 and his Custer one, I think, are pretty solid in particular.
Also, the already mentioned Turtledove. TL-191 is a short step from required reading on this site (ok, not seriously!), and The War that Came Early and Bombs Away/Fallout are very good too.

Peter g. Tsouras's Britannia's Fist trilogy is a good set of books to read.
Resurrection Day by Brendan DuBois is a fine airport novel about a world where the Cuban Missile Crisis turned hot, although it has a major unicorn in its garden with Europe managing to escape the war scot-free. It paints a grubby portrait of a US that "won" the war after only taking a handful of nukes, but is still not a great place to live; there's rationing, 'orphie' gangs, and the country is a functional one-party state, with the military holding a Turkish-level involvement in the government and the Democrats being blamed for the war.
Surprised not to see "Lest Darkness Fall" by L. Sprague De Camp perhaps one of the most classic novels of the genre.
