Fighting Germany’s Spies is a non-fiction book written by Strother French, which provides a detailed account of the United States’ efforts to combat German espionage during World War I. The book explores the various tactics used by German spies to gather intelligence and disrupt American operations, including sabotage, propaganda, and subversion. It also highlights the critical role played by the American intelligence agencies, including the newly-formed Bureau of Investigation (later known as the FBI), in identifying and apprehending German spies. The book features several real-life espionage cases, including the famous Black Tom explosion in New York Harbor, which was orchestrated by German agents. The author also delves into the controversial issue of how the United States dealt with suspected German spies and sympathizers, including the use of internment camps. Overall, Fighting Germany’s Spies is an informative and engaging account of a little-known aspect of World War I history.1918. Illustrated.
