In 1940, he published The Remarkable Andrew, a novel featuring the ghost of President Andrew Jackson guiding a modern man through American history. The story included themes warning against U.S. involvement in World War II.
The book was later criticized for echoing positions associated with the Nazi–Soviet pact, which had influenced parts of the political left at the time. While written as fiction, it reflected his broader worldview during that period. This connection would later be cited by critics examining his political record.
