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.
