The Invasion

The Invasion of 1910 is a 1906 novel written mainly (along with H. W. Wilson providing the naval chapters). It is one of the more famous examples of invasion literature. It is viewed by some as an example of pre-World War I Germanophobia. It can also be viewed as prescient, as it preached the need to prepare for war with Germany. The book takes the form of a military history and includes excerpts from the characters' journals and letters and descriptions of the fictional German campaign itself.
