Lyle, Eugene P, Jr

Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Author.

(1873-1962) US journalist and author, whose The Great War of 1938 (September 1918 Everybody's Magazine; 1918 chap) predicts with unusual accuracy the onset of World War Two, though its propagandist thesis for readers in September 1918 – that Germany would take advantage of any weak peace terms laid down after its coming defeat in World War One – was very wide of the mark. An earlier nonfiction piece, "The Advance of Wireless" (February 1905 World's Work), was also surprisingly predictive. A novel, The Transformation of Krag (1911), despite its alluring title, is entirely nonfantastic. [JC]
