Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. In 1915 America was a nation of sleepy and blinking sloths, not wakeful men! As British and French troops died on the battlefields of France, American citizens remained blissfully ignorant of the looming Great War and their own nationâs grotesque helplessness on land. The author, one of the few who saw the approaching disaster, decries the sleepiness and blundering of the American people and their government in the years leading up to and including 1916. Swept up in an orgy of spending and extravagance, citizens wallowed in luxury while Congress and the Cabinet fumbled and stalled, oblivious to impending dangers. This book serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us of the folly of sleeping on duty and the importance of learning from past mistakes as we plan for a more just and secure future.
