Summary: "Defenseless America" by Hudson Maxim is a treatise on national defense written in the early 20th century. The work addresses the perceived vulnerability of the United States to foreign threats and advocates for military preparedness to protect American lives and property. It reflects a context of global conflict during a time when many nations, especially in Europe, were deeply embroiled in war. The opening of the book includes a foreword from Maxim, where he expresses concern about America's readiness to face potential invasions. He critiques the pacifist movement, suggesting that its ideas are misguided and detrimental to national security. Maxim emphasizes the importance of recognizing the threat of war and the need for adequate military preparation to safeguard the nation. This portion sets the tone for a combative argument aimed at rallying public opinion around the necessity of defense in the face of growing global tensions.
