Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against the backdrop of World War I's deadlock, the narrative explores the pivotal moment when British intelligence intercepted a secret German telegram proposing an alliance with Mexico. This offer promised support for Mexico to reclaim territories lost to the U.S. in exchange for an attack on American soil. The subsequent leak to the press stirred public opinion and contributed to the U.S. entering the war. Drawing from extensive government records, the book challenges conventional perspectives on the telegram's origins and significance.
