If the closest confidante and advisor to an extremely consequential American president had written a fantasy novel about a heroic social agitator with a plan to bring about a “benevolent” progressive dictatorship by instigating a brutal civil war, might one imagine that an honest press would take an interest? In fact this has happened, and America’s actual press has tried to dismiss the book as a meaningless “bad novel”.

 

In 1912, Edward Mandell House, Woodrow Wilson‘s most intimate and influential advisor, wrote Philip Dru: Administrator. (Read it online here.)
