About the Book

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. AUTHOR: Michael Digby is a former US Army soldier and retired Detective/Bomb Disposal Officer for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. He has written two non-fiction books about bombings in Los Angeles and conducts training courses throughout the world on matters related to IEDs and bombs.

Review :
"Author Michael Digby provides a stirring story of the first deadly campaign ever waged on our homeland by agents of any world government."-- "Argunners Magazine" "Mr. Digby's book, with its wealth of telling detail and sweeping narrative to cover a range of loosely connected sabotage operations all over the country, makes a valuable addition to the literature on national security law and history."-- "American Intelligence Journal" "Digby introduces the reader to a host of colorful, and frequently sinister, characters."-- "Journal of Military History" "Digby has made a very valuable addition to the scholarship on the subject..."-- "The NYMAS Review" "Using historical records and other sources ranging from pre-World War I through the 21st century, Digby's book is a compelling narrative about people involved in German-inspired events to keep America out of World War I."-- "Over the Front" "...a fascinating tale of international intrigue, geopolitics, divided loyalties, and criminal investigations during wartime."-- "New York Journal of Books" "...an excellent overview of the tangled web of German espionage in the US."-- "Roads to the Great War" "Michael Digby is technically astute and a compelling author who consistently manages to compress the verbose, technical, and complex into a concise, easily readable, and enjoyable narrative. Frequently the story entails several threads, but Digby stitches them together so the reader maintains clarity without becoming lost and disorientated. A mix of stunning revelation, to those previously uninitiated, and expertly told detail that explains and enhances through a well-crafted and logical flow; this book's appeal will range from period enthusiasts to those who are simply looking for an exciting and historically accurate account."--Liam FitzGerald-Finch, Former British Army Ammunition Technical Officer
