Excerpt from The Land and the Soldier
The war has released the imagination of men. It has cured inertia, shaken up bureau cracy, and forced men to think in new terms.
We mobilized men in a few months' time. We clothed them, fed them, housed them. We gave them guns, equipment, huge engines of war.
We built a great navy and merchant marine. We sent an army of men overseas. It had never been done. Military experts said it could not be done. We achieved the impossible. That is the thing to remember. It can never again be said that a thing cannot be done because it never has been done.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the idea of farm colonies, a way of offering returning soldiers appealing opportunities for their post-service lives. The author urges society to go beyond mere financial compensation and instead provide real opportunities for meaningful living, proposing farm colonies as a way to do just that. Developed by the government, these colonies would offer everything from education and recreation to co-operative organization for their inhabitants, who would also own their own homes, barns, and a piece of land. The author suggests that this kind of life would be more appealing than the old-style farming, which often involves isolation and economic hardship. The book delves into real-life examples from countries like England, Ireland, Australia, and Denmark to illustrate the success of farm colonies in providing economic security and fostering a sense of community. Ultimately, the author argues that farm colonies offer the potential to transform agriculture, making it more accessible, rewarding, and socially just. By exploring the historical and international context of farm colonies and their positive impact on the lives of those involved, this book presents a compelling case for their implementation as a means of empowering returning soldiers and revitalizing rural communities.
