Présentation de l'éditeur

American Legion has become a mighty power in the land, and by every indication its influence is increasing. In September, 1931, Major General James G. Harbord, chairman of the board of the Radio Corporation of A merica, told the New York state convention of the Legion that the Legionnaires should take political leadership into their own hands and assume the responsibility of shaping their countrys policies, both foreign and domestic. He prophesied that within the next fifteen years the Legionnaires would dominate both the state and federal governments, have a majority in both houses of Congress and have one of their number in the Presidential chair. General Harbord sprophecy was well on the way to fulfilment when he made it. What is this Legion that may dominate the Government? How is it exerting its power? In what direction is it endeavouring to guide the countrys course? These are the questions with which this book is concerned. The book is not a history of the Legion, but is intended, rather, as a character study. The hope is to offer a few suggestions about the possible effects of the Legion upon the nation.
