This is the annotated edition including the rare biographical essay by Edwin E. Slosson called "H. G. Wells - A Major Prophet Of His Time". What Is Coming? A European Forecast is a book to digest at leisure—an analysis and prophecy of social conditions after the war is over—how the people are going to take he waste of the world's resources, the arrest of material progress, and the killing of the moiety of the male population in almost every country of Europe." Mr. Wells is a big force in the literature of today. His stories have been almost prophetic in their themes and incident, and now he has written -with all the force with which he is capable a book on subjects that are occupying the thoughts of the profoundest thinkers of this generation. He writes on The Future of the World, How Far Europe Will Go Toward Socialism, Lawyer and Press, What the War is Doing for Women, The New Map of Europe, and subjects of like interest. Mr. Wells very truly says that "if there is to be a permanent peace of the world, it is clear that there must be some permanent means of settling disputes between Powers and Nations that would otherwise be at war." He says that the Spanish mind has been sold by its custodians into German control, and he calls attention to the newspapers, news agents, and booksellers of Great Britain and America, of which he says that it is only a question of wealth and cleverness and they are at the disposal of any hostile Power which chooses to buy them up quietly and systematically. His reading of the German horoscope is characteristically masterly.
