Solid account of the German sabotage campaign in the United States in the years leading up to the U.S. entering World War I. In some respects, the book reflects recent trends in investigation; the author has been involved in terrorism incident investigation. There's also the advantage of some fairly recently declassified documents which other books didn't have. The one small flaw in the book is that it appears obvious that it was written in sections at different times, since some information is repeated. But overall, a good read.

The true story of German secret agents engaged in a campaign of subversion and terror in the United States before and during World War I. Many believe that World War I was only fought "over there," as the popular 1917 song goes, in the trenches and muddy battlefields of Northern France and Belgium--they are wrong.There was a secret war fought in America; on remote railway bridges and waterways linking the United States and Canada; aboard burning and exploding ships in the Atlantic Ocean; in the smoldering ruins of America's bombed and burned-out factories, munitions plants, and railway centers; and waged in carefully disguised clandestine workshops where improvised explosive devices and deadly toxins were designed and manufactured. It was irregular warfare on a scale that caught the United States woefully unprepared.This is the true story of German secret agents engaged in a campaign of subversion and terror on the American homeland before and during World War I.
