A deft political fraud, riding the currents of public opinion and exploiting patriotic feelings, leads his country into war in this 1901 satire. Zangwill, a friend of H. G. Wells, takes on questions of democracy and imperialism in a story praised by critics for capturing the political atmosphere of his times.

About the author
Israel Zangwill (1864-1926) was born in London to Jewish immigrants from Czarist Russia. A playwright, novelist, and humorist, he often took on the subjects of Zionism, Jewish nationalism and assimilation, as well as feminism and pacifism. His 1908 play The Melting Pot popularized the titular phrase and his 1891 The Big Bow Mystery has been called the first locked-room murder novel.
