Morale: A Story of the War of 1941-43 by Murray Leinster
"Morale: A Story of the War of 1941-43" by Murray Leinster is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The book tells a riveting tale of a futuristic war scenario where civilian morale significantly impacts military strategy and operations. By focusing on the enemy's psychological warfare tactics, specifically with a monstrous war-machine called the "Wabbly," the narrative illustrates the profound effects of fear and chaos on a population during
wartime. The story centers around Sergeant Walpole, a member of a coastal observation post during an ongoing war. Initially enjoying a calm life, Walpole's world is shattered when the Wabbly—a menacing behemoth of a war machine—lands on the Eastern Coast, swiftly spreading panic and destruction. As Walpole witnesses firsthand the terror it inflicts, he takes it upon himself to track the creature in an attempt to counteract its devastating effect on civilian morale. Accompanied by a helicopter pilot, they devise a plan to set traps for the Wabbly, culminating in a tense battle that reveals not only the physical destruction wrought by the war machine but also its psychological ramifications on both the civilian populace and military forces alike.
