Written in 1916 as a plea for military preparedness, this future-war story imagines Germany turning on America after the European war. The Panama Canal is blown up, invaders land on Long Island and fight the Battle of Brooklyn, General von Hindenburg teaches New York a lesson, and New Haven is punished for rioting.
A vivid piece of First World War invasion literature and propaganda, revealing of American anxieties before 1917. Download the free EPUB.
