About This Item
San Francisco: [Britton & Rey, printers], 1907. First Edition. Wrappers. Fine-. First (and apparently only) Printing of this work of xenophobic fiction. Slim demy 8vo (230 x 154mm): 28pp on coated stock, with folding map titled "Map of the World Showing the three Great Oceans as Units and our Unfortified Military Stations." Original stapled light grey-green paper wrappers printed in black. Cover edges very lightly toned, staples rusted, but an excellent example. "Antiquated military hardware, bureaucratic bungling, labor problems, and foreign-born U.S. resident saboteurs spell defeat for America in a war with China and Japan in 1912. Manson was San Francisco's City Engineer in charge of the water supply. His brief excursion into the world of fiction tells of a crisis precipitated by Asian-American racial animosity, resulting in a declaration of war by China and Japan. Within a few months, Asian forces invade and seize Pearl Harbor and other American bases in the Pacific and blockade the West Coast. The United States is compelled to sue for peace on humiliating and costly terms." (Dan Siegel. Clareson, Science Fiction in America, 1870s-1930s) N. B. With few exceptions (always identified), we only stock books in exceptional condition, carefully preserved in archival, removable mylar sleeves. All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed. (Fine Editions Ltd is a member of the Independent Online Booksellers Association, and we subscribe to its codes of ethics.).
