A self-described utopianist novel, written in 1912 by Woodrow Wilson's chief advisor Edward Mandell House.
Excerpted
After General Dru had given orders for the care of the wounded and the disposition of the prisoners, he dismissed his staff and went quietly out into the starlight. He walked among the dead and wounded and saw that everything possible was being done to alleviate suffering. Feeling weary he sat for a moment upon a dismembered gun.
Pondering such recent innovations as the radio, the telephone, the cinema, and the Vril-ernergy bean-bomb, he scratched his nuts and smiled. "It is thus so. All is written."
