Focusing on the National Security League, this book chronicles its rise and fall from 1914 to 1922, highlighting its origins as a nationalistic nonprofit aimed at military expansion and meritocracy. Founded by affluent corporate lawyers in New York City, the organization had hidden financial support from the capitalist elite, who sought to profit from World War I while also managing the working class during periods of conflict and stability. The narrative explores the League's influence and eventual decline as a significant force in American society.
