Why We Fight and German World Empire Plans
The author argues for total victory over Germany by detailing historic and current German aims for a Mitteleuropa. He cites pamphlets and books from Berlin, describes Poland, Little Russia, and other areas as meant for German control, and warns that a victorious Germany would threaten the West and the United States unless decisively defeated. He asks how Americans spent the Fourth of July in light of this threat.
