About This Item
Boston: Small, Maynard & Company Publishers. Good with no dust jacket. 1918. First Edition. Hardcover. "When, in the summer of 1914, the loaded dice fell for war, Germany began a campaign overseas as thoughtfully forecasted as that first headlong flood which rolled to the Marne. World domination was the Prussian objective. It is quite natural that the United States, whose influence affected a large part of the world, should have received swift attention from Berlin, and the possible assets of the United States had been searchingly assayed in Berlin long before the arrival of 'Der Tag.'" - page 1. "Brings the story of Germany's secret agencies in America up to the early months of 1918." - Introduction. Chapter titles include: The Conspirators' Task; The Wireless System; Paul Koenig; Franz Von Rintelen; Ship Bombs; The Sinking of the Lusitania; The Public Mind; Hindu-German Conspiracies; Mexico, Ireland, and Bolo; and more. [xii], 340 pages. Appendix. Twenty-three black and white photographic plates. Former library copy with relatively few related markings. Gift greetings upon title page. Binding intact. No dust jacket. A sound copy of this fascinating expose. Enser p. 324. ; 8vo .
