Waterloo

ARMAGEDDON .

1976 · 144422 — Boston: Gregg Press 1976. Octavo frontispiece map of Nicaragua cloth. Later edition. Text offset from that of the 1898 Rand McNally edition. New introduction by Richard Gid Powers. Future war novel depicting an Anglo-American victory over the rest of Europe in a highly destructive war caused by European imperialism. "An Anglo-American alliance is established to rule the world until the 'lesser breeds' are capable of ruling themselves. This provides one of the most jingoistic statements of Anglo-Saxon supremacy during the period." - Anatomy of Wonder 1981 1-168. "Oddly enough Waterloo has only adapted with the most overblown language and development a dime novel of the Frank Reade Jr. type to a more adult novel comic Irishman and all. Almost unreadable." - Bleiler Science-Fiction: The Early Years 2307. Anatomy of Wonder 1976 2-158. Clareson The Emergence of American Science Fiction: 1880-1915 pp. 265-67.
