This book relates a fascinating and hardly known series of events prior to America's entry into The Great War, ie World War I. The Germans were desperate to keep supplies of all sorts away from the European powers (The Entente) that they were in battle with. The great majority of these supplies came from the United States so it was natural for secret operations in espionage and later sabotage to commence in the North American mainland. This tale of police searches and German attempts to evade detection comprise the meat of the book. It is enjoyable in the reading and is an eyeopener as to how open to foreign influences our country was in the early years of the 20th Century. That would soon change and thank God for it.
