About this listen

“Germany has waged war upon us, and has waged war against our property, and has waged war against the lives of non-combatants, including women and children, and [is] therefore a far more evil war than one waged openly.”–Theodore Roosevelt

The German Spy in America gives a firsthand documentation of German espionage and sabotage in the U.S. in the lead-up to World War I. Published in 1917 just before the U.S. entered World War I (with a foreword by Theodore Roosevelt), it details German attempts at sabotage and infiltration in the first two and a half years of World War I, including attempts to provoke Mexico to war against the United States, provisions for the invasion of Canada, and the sinking of the liner Lusitania in 1915, which cost the lives of 113 American citizens and shifted U.S. opinion decisively against Germany. Even history connoisseurs may not be familiar with these exciting and disturbing details.

Instead of keeping America from intervening on behalf of the Allies, German disinformation and sabotage inflamed American public opinion.

Far from being a historical curiosity, The German Spy in America provides invaluable and relevant insights that today’s informed citizens should know and understand.
