Excerpt from Mobilising America No American who has lived in France or England, as I have these last two years, and has watched them struggling with the problem of organising democracy to resist the impact of war, could help feeling at every minute that some time we might have to meet the same problems. Day after day experiments were being made, some successful, some failures, the lessons of which would be of value to us if ever we had to mobilise. And so - anticipating plenty of time to mature my notes - I set to work gathering the preliminary data for a book on "How Democracies Mobilise." It promised to be a bulky tome, there was so much which seemed noteworthy. But War is already upon us. And so I have tried to summarise in this short space the main points I had intended to develop at length.
