Summary
H. G. Wells had a lifelong and powerful relationship with the United States. Beginning with his first visit in 1906 when Wells was already a world-famous science-fiction writer and futurist, he met personally with several American presidents and kept a close eye on scientific, technological, and social developments in the New World until his death in 1946 at age 80.
In 1968, the German-born American historian Sylvia Strauss wrote her doctoral dissertation on H. G. Wells and America for her PhD at Rutgers University; she died in 1997 after a distinguished career. More than 50 years later, it remains the definitive work on this intriguing topic and has never been published—until now. It is edited and annotated by Edward Hoffman, PhD, author of more than 20 books in psychology and related fields, including award-winning biographies of Alfred Adler and Abraham Maslow. Dr. Hoffman's books have been translated into more than a dozen languages, including Chinese, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish.
