The Great War Syndicate
Sinopsis
The Great War Syndicate, by Frank R. Stockton, is a late 19th-century novel that imagines a sharp rise in tensions between the United States and Great Britain, culminating in a conflict largely tied to control of fishing waters. The premise is set in motion when the fishing schooner Eliza Drum is seized by a British cruiser, provoking strong outrage in the United States and helping drive events toward a declared war. Amid the turmoil, a group of influential businessmen forms the Syndicate, presenting themselves as managers of the war effort. They aim to run military operations with an emphasis on profit and efficiency, including the development of new weapons and unconventional naval vessels.
