"The German Secret Service in America 1914-1918" by John Price Jones and Paul Merrick Hollister is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the operations and strategies employed by German intelligence agents in the United States during World War I. The book's primary focus is on how these agents attempted to disrupt American society, manipulate public opinion, and further German war aims, showcasing the intrusive measures undertaken by Germany in the lead-up to the U.S. entering the war. The opening of the text introduces the multifaceted German espionage network established in America, outlining its core figures, such as Count Johann von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, and key operatives like Captain Franz von Papen and Dr. Heinrich Albert. It details the organization and objectives of their operations, emphasizing the military, economic, and diplomatic strategies used to influence events in favor of Germany. The narrative captures the tension of the time, illustrating how Germany attempted to utilize its agents to incite dissent and undermine U.S. neutrality through plots of sabotage and espionage, setting the stage for the revelations and chaos that would ultimately lead to America's declaration of war.
