Excerpt from The Invasion of America: A Fact Story
In January, 1915, Mr. G. T. Viskniskki, manager of The Wheeler Syndicate, asked me: "Assuming that an enemy landed an army on the American coast, what could we actually do with our actual present resources used to their fullest possible extent?"
This story was written as the answer.
I hesitated a long time before I did it. I feared and fear still the dangers to which the possession of military power drives Nations, and which are particularly great in the case of a Republic. The obvious danger that a Nation like ours if powerfully armed may be too easily impelled to war, is great enough. But still more grave is the danger of a deep and fatal change in our National spirit, our ideals and our attitudes toward the world outside of our own borders.
