Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Spread Eagle' is a sharp-edged drama and political satire that critiques the mechanisms of manufactured conflict and the exploitation of national sentiment. Set against the backdrop of industrial interests and international relations, the play exposes the calculated efforts of powerful figures to incite war for private gain under the guise of patriotism. Through its gripping narrative, the work examines how public opinion can be swayed by sensationalism and the strategic use of political symbols.The story focuses on the cynical maneuvers of a wealthy financier who orchestrates a crisis to protect his investments, illustrating a timeless conflict between ethics and greed. By blending elements of a suspenseful fiction with a staged drama, George S. Brooks and Walter B. Lister provide a cynical yet illuminating look at the behind-the-scenes machinations of foreign policy and the human cost of interventionism. This work stands as a significant piece of early 20th-century American theater, offering a bold commentary on jingoism and the responsibilities of citizenship in a complex political landscape.Written during the interwar period, 'Spread Eagle' remains a relevant exploration of how patriots are made and used. Its biting dialogue and dramatic tension serve as a cautionary tale about the power of the press and the fragility of peace when confronted by the demands of commercial expansion.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
