Acerca de esta escucha

 Abounding in intrigue, action and romance, "1914, A Prelude to Love and War" is Book One of an historical fiction series recalling the First World War. Commemorating the Centennial of the First World War, this novel combines a gripping romance story with a scrutinizing look at the causes and events of "the war to end all wars." Recruited into MI6___ the British Intelligence Service___ Michael Adler a United States citizen finds himself in a conflicted romantic entanglement with Claire Jaurés, a self-proclaimed French pacifist and socialist. Since war has not yet started, Michael and Claire attend lavish and decadent parties hosted by the inimitable Gertrude Stein, where they mix with artists like Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, as well as the Russian revolutionist Vladimir Lenin. The relationship of the two lovers eventually becomes challenged by the fact that Michael is sent on assignment to Austria-Hungary by First Lord of the British Admiralty, Winston Churchill. Claire remains a resolute pacifist, and is opposed to any construction of warships. Adler agonizes over the possibility that his espionage activities may actually be fueling an impending war in Europe, and his impassioned love for the young French woman ends up putting him at odds with his devotion to duty. Adler’s overseas assignment brings him into direct contact with many notable historical figures including Winston Churchill, Sir Edward Grey, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, Rasputin the Mad Monk, and the French journalist Jean Jaurés. Meanwhile behind the scenes, conspiratorial political and corporate schemes are being hatched by the likes of JP Morgan, JD Rockefeller, Colonel Edward Mandell House and President Woodrow Wilson. Though this novel is a work of fiction, the reader will be enlightened by an array of historical facts relative to the time period including dress, culture, industrial innovations and political exploitations. "1914, A Prelude to Love and War" is the first book in this series of romantic historical fiction novels centered around the First World War. This novel is an independent story and can be read alone, or it may be enjoyed with any of the other books in the series. “1914, A Prelude to Love and War” relies on information newly gleaned from previously unreleased documents in the British National Archives; and, this romantic war novel presents a not so fictional alternative historical depiction of the causes and events leading up to the First World War. The reader is transported back to a time when in the words of Theodore Roosevelt, “Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.”
