I too see the caption of the book, and i see that he was advocating greater defence for the US in 1915, which as during the Great War, WW1. Since it was during war time and US was not yet engaged in the war, his position was not necessarily extreme on warmongering... did he ever come to advocate peace? I have done a search on line, and it appears not. He seems to have been a genius who wrote on language and poetry and calligraphy, and came up with multiple inventions oriented mostly to warfare. Pity. He should have studied the science of peace and created the guns of love that 'Abdu'l-Baha asked him to create.

You can't just end it there... what did Maxim say/do next? I mean, I can make a pretty good guess (from the caption of the photo of his book) that he ignored ‘Abdu’l-Bahá's words, but did he have anything else to say? And THEN what happened?!?
