Review: Still good SF even if the science of the time had flaws.

Wells imagines what sort of weak and disorganized response an alien invasion would provoke in various types of civilized people.He expresses his good feeling toward the regular man, and puts the authorities in a bad light, especially the clergy, military commanders and politicians.  His anti-Semitism and racism is pretty low level compared to other English snobs of the time (like Conan Doyle).
