Summary: "The Conquest of America: A Romance of Disaster and Victory, U.S.A., 1921 A.D." by Cleveland Moffett is a fictional narrative that was written during the early 20th century. This gripping tale explores the hypothetical scenario of a major German invasion of the United States in the aftermath of World War I, drawing on themes of military preparedness and national identity. The narrative centers around James E. Langston, a war correspondent for the "London Times," who experiences the turbulent events and catastrophic military failures firsthand, offering readers a lens through which to understand the dire consequences of unpreparedness. At the start of this narrative, the reader is introduced to James E. Langston, who is stationed in Panama and discusses the imminent threat posed by a potentially aggressive Japan, highlighting the United States' lack of military readiness. In a dramatic twist, the Panama Canal is destroyed, signaling the beginning of hostilities with Germany, who seizes the moment to launch a surprise invasion of America. The chaos escalates as German forces invade Long Island, overwhelming American defenses and prompting fears of a full-scale occupation of New York City. The opening chapters set a tense tone, portraying the emotional and strategic dilemmas faced by both military leaders and ordinary citizens as they grapple with the sudden realization of their vulnerability.
