Summary "Philip Dru: Administrator; A Story of Tomorrow, 1920-1935" by Edward Mandell House is a political fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The book delves into themes of social justice, the struggle between wealth and the underprivileged, and the transformative power of leadership through its main character, Philip Dru. The narrative likely unfolds as Dru navigates a society rife with class tensions and seeks to implement reform. The beginning of the story introduces us to Philip Dru on his graduation day from the National Military Academy at West Point in 1920, set against a backdrop of looming civil unrest due to the widening gap between the wealthy and the disenfranchised. Dru, contemplative and somewhat detached from the pomp surrounding him, is haunted by the idea that his military career might serve wealth rather than the greater good. His encounter with Gloria Strawn marks a pivotal moment; they discuss the implications of wealth and poverty, and Dru's desire for action to remedy socioeconomic inequalities becomes evident. Their dialogue foreshadows Dru's path toward becoming a catalyst for change in a society he sees as deeply flawed and in need of reform. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
