About This Book
The author criticizes wartime secrecy and press management, arguing that official censorship and selective reporting have fostered public distrust and concealed important domestic weaknesses. He examines a range of risks—including industrial slackness and strikes that disrupt essential supplies, problematic handling of enemy aliens, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and public apathy—that together undermine national defence. Emphasizing the home front as integral to military success, he urges clearer communication, better coordination between government and industry, and firmer civic responsibility. The text closes with a compact set of facts and practical recommendations intended to prompt corrective measures and greater transparency.
