Autorenporträt
Hudson Maxim (1853–1927) was an American inventor, as well as a prolific author, best known for his work in military ordnance and explosives. Born in Orneville, Maine, Hudson Maxim was the brother of Hiram Maxim, the inventor of the Maxim machine gun. Although overshadowed by his brother's stark contributions to automatic weaponry, Hudson made his mark through the development of smokeless gunpowder and various high-explosive compounds, influencing the arms industry at a pivotal time in history. A pioneering chemist and self-taught expert in ballistics, his literary ambitions led him to address the issues of national defense and warfare from a technical and patriotic perspective. His book 'Defenseless America' presents a compelling argument for the modernization and strengthening of the United States' military capabilities at the brink of World War I. Employing a writing style that is both didactic and persuasive, Maxim sought to engage the public as well as military experts in discourse on the nation's preparedness—or lack thereof—against the backdrop of global conflict. Throughout his works, Maxim combined an intimate understanding of weaponry with a passionate plea for American resilience, leaving a nuanced imprint on the fabric of early 20th-century military literature.
