The Conquest of America: A Romance of Disaster and Victory, U.S.A., 1921 A.D.

"The Conquest of America: A Romance of Disaster and Victory, U.S.A., 1921 A.D." by Cleveland Moffett, imagines a world where the United States faces a devastating German invasion following World War I. Through the eyes of James E. Langston, a war reporter for the "London Times," the story vividly portrays the consequences of military unpreparedness as the U.S. falls victim to a surprise attack. The story quickly moves from Langston's initial concerns about a potential conflict with Japan while in Panama, to the shocking destruction of the Panama Canal, and swiftly into a full-blown German invasion of Long Island. This invasion exposes America's weak defenses. As German forces advance, fear grips the nation, particularly with the threat of New York City falling under enemy control, setting the stage for a high-stakes struggle for survival and national identity.
