From Autocracy to Democracy: Adventures of a Former Agent of the Kaiser's Secret Service

While Germany is still threatening to balk at the terms of peace as laid down by the Allies there is just one man in the United States who did active work in the secret service of the Imperial Government and who fought in the first line trenches for the Fatherland. How he made his way from South Africa to England, thence to Holland, and finally to the battlefront to fight for the Kaiser makes many a chapter of thrilling adventure. He was a son of autocracy at the start of the story, which develops on the following pages, but he ended loyal to democracy. In his stirring career he found the one woman he loved and married her a Briton. He matched his wits against the vaunted system of German military thoroughness and won, escaping from the Fatherland. His mind had revolted against the spirit of Prussianism, and he rendered valuable aid to the A llies, but this did not prevent his being incarcerated in the detention camp at Fort Oglethorpe, a victim of circumstances, which makes an interesting climax to one of the wars most unique experiences.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
