'In the Clutch of the War-God' Summary

In the Clutch of the War-God is a novel by Milo Hastings that was first published in 1911. The novel tells the story of a war between Japan and the United States in the early 20th century. The novel begins with a description of the two countries' contrasting societies. Japan is a healthy and vibrant society, but it is also overpopulated and has limited resources. The United States, on the other hand, is a wealthy and powerful society, but it is also plagued by ill health and habit. Hastings predicts that the war will be caused by Japan's need for food and resources, and by the United States's declining health and fitness. He also explores the role of health and fitness in society, and the importance of being prepared for war. The novel ends with a warning that the United States must be prepared for war, or it will be defeated by Japan. Hastings also calls for a return to the values of health and fitness, and for a more just and equitable society.
