Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Hudson Maxim
Theodore Roosevelt thanks Hudson Maxim for his book Defenseless America and discusses his concerns about the pacifism that has taken hold among the young men of America. He comments about the importance of the nation preparing itself for possible conflict, and that only once it is able to protect itself will it be able to help promote peace among other nations. Roosevelt also writes about the morality of arms sales.
