"My Adventures as a German Secret Agent" by Horst von der Goltz is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work centers on Von der Goltz's experiences as a secret agent and confidential aide for the German government, particularly in the turbulent decade leading up to and during the First World War. The likely focus of the account is on behind-the-scenes political intrigue, espionage, and international plots, as observed and executed by Von der Goltz himself—spanning Europe, the United States, and Mexico. The opening of this memoir plunges the reader into Von der Goltz’s extraordinary life, beginning with his return to the United States in the company of law enforcement and his subsequent testimony in a major espionage case. He quickly transitions to recounting the dramatic incident that thrust him into the world of secret diplomacy: the accidental discovery of an explosive letter linked to the legitimacy of Kaiser Wilhelm II. Von der Goltz narrates his youthful induction into espionage, highlighting a blend of idealism, adventurous spirit, and naiveté that entangles him in international intrigue. The early chapters detail his training, first missions—including impersonating a Russian prince to steal diplomatic secrets—and painful lessons about the ruthless and perilous world of covert operations, effectively setting the tone for a tale of deception, loyalty, and shifting morality in the shadowy realm of wartime espionage.
