The period between World War I and World War II was one of
intense change. Everything was modernizing, including our
technology for making war witness machine guns, trench warfare,
biological agents, and ultimately The Final Solution. This
modernization and eye toward the future was reflected in many
facets of pop culture, including fashion, home-wear design, and the
popular literature of the time. In sci-fi, a specific genre emerged
that of the future war.
Fred Krome has collected many of these future war stories
together for the first time in Fighting the Future War. Bolstered
by a comprehensive introduction, and introduced with historical
information about both the authors of the stories and the
historical time period, these stories provide a view into the field
of pulp science fiction writing, the issues that informed the time
period between the world wars, and the way people envisioned the
wars of tomorrow. Revealing anxieties about society, technology,
race and politics, the genre of the future war story is important
material for students of history and literature.
