The Invasion of New York is a fictional work that depicts what might very possibly happen to the United States in the case of a Japanese attack if the US decided to not secure a hold on Hawaii. Meant by the author as a cautionary tale to the American government and people as to the potential dangers awaiting the freedom of the United States, it reflects a concern that may appear very real, and urges any nation to follow the advice: "In time of peace, prepare for war".

Includes a dedicatory passage at beginning of book.
