PREFACE
The first part of this little book, namely “The Battle of the Iron Horse,” appeared, very much as it stands, in the September number of The National Review, 1925, and I have to thank the editor, Mr. Leo Maxse, for his kindness in allowing me to republish it.
The second part is based partially on personal experience and reflection, and partially on the lectures and papers of others. In the war, the tank brought me to realize the enormous possibilities of cross-country movement, and, in 1921, I set down my ideas as regards its commercial future in a pamphlet entitled Economic Movement, which was published in 1922.
