Description

The early 20th century saw the founding of the National Security League, a nationalistic nonprofit organization committed to an expanded military, conscripted service and meritocracy.

This book details its history, from its formation in December 1914 through 1922, at which point it was a spent force in decline.

Founded by wealthy corporate lawyers based in New York City, it had secret backers in the capitalist class, who had two goals in mind.

One was to profit immensely from the newly begun World War I.

The other was to control the working classes in times of both war and peace. This agenda was presented to the public under the guise of preparedness, patriotism, and Americanization.

Although the league was eventually found by Congress to have violated election spending limits, no sanctions of any kind were ever applied.

This history details the secret machinations of an organization dedicated to solidifying the grip of the capitalist class over workers, all under the cover of American pride.
