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 eventually convicted by
Congress of having 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 undercover of American
pride.
