Biography
George Sylvester Viereck is remembered today for his contributions to fantasy literature. Born in Germany he immigrated to the United States with his family at age 11. He was editor of the magazine The Fatherland, which advocated fair play for the Central Powers when World War I came out. The magazine quickly became very popular, reaching a circulation of 100,000, and changed its name to American Monthly when the US broke with Germany. Despite his support for the American war effort, the anti-German hysteria affected Viereck, and he suffered the boycott that many German-Americans felt during those years.
