_Cloth, 8vo_
By many army officers the author of this work is regarded as the
foremost military expert in the United States. For nine years he has
been striving to awaken the American people to a knowledge of the
weaknesses of their land forces and the defencelessness of the country.
Out of his extensive study and research he has compiled the present
volume, which represents the last word on this subject. It comes at a
time when its importance cannot be overestimated, and in the eight
hundred odd pages given over to the discussion there are presented facts
and arguments with which every citizen should be familiar. Mr.
Huidekoper's writings in this field are already well known. These
hitherto, however, have been largely confined to magazines and
pamphlets, but his book deals with the matters under consideration with
that frankness and authority evidenced in these previous contributions
and much more comprehensively.
