WAR of 1938- S.Fowler Wright

Read this a VERY long time ago-early 60s. It was published in 1935 and posits a war(i believe) between Germany and Czezhoslovakia. Any one read this? How about you Landshark? It might have been an english book someone brought to the US from UK.

I've never heard of this one before or of it's author so I was somewhat surprised when a google brought up several listings for Sidney Fowler Wright, some of which revealed that he's still in print. One book, Deluge, written in 1928 has been reprinted half a dozen times since 1980 alone.

According to the bibliography that provided that information the book you mention is part of a trilogy called Prelude in Prague and at least part of it is available to read on the net!

Reminds me of a true story I read in an unsolved mysteries book about a real man who wrote a magazine article foretelling with remarkable accuracy the rearmament of Germany and the conquest of Europe in a second war within twenty years. Catch is that he wrote it in 1918, and predicted that another war would erupt around 38 or 39. Just thought I'd put that in.
