[Gutenberg 52038] • The Invasion of America: a fact story based on the inexorable mathematics of war

Excerpt from The Invasion of America: A Fact Story

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.
