The full story of this audacious endeavor is a remarkable account of a terrorist threat against America. Michael Dobbs describes the saboteurs’ training in Nazi Germany, their claustrophobic three-week voyage in submarines, and their infiltration into American life. He explores the reasons each volunteered, and their links to a network of Nazi sympathizers in the United States. He paints a portrait of the group’s leaders: George Dasch, a onetime waiter who dreamed of leaving his personal mark on history, and Edward Kerling, a fanatic Nazi caught between his love for his mistress and his love for his wife. And he shows how the FBI might never have captured the saboteurs had one of them not helped J. Edgar Hoover transform a hapless manhunt into one of his proudest accomplishments. A military tribunal, a historic Supreme Court session, and one of the largest mass executions in American history provide a stunning climax to a dangerous but failed mission.]]> 1560693 2 412362 10 2 2004 Saboteurs: The Nazi Raid on America total:24|5:4|4:11|3:8|2:1|1:0| 24 90 39 7 66749 3.79 443 99 51605604 903066 423265 1400030420 9781400030422 3 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174609076m/423265.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174609076s/423265.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/423265.Saboteurs_The_Nazi_Raid_on_America 3.83 6
In 1942, Hitler's Nazi regime trained eight operatives for a mission to infiltrate America and do devastating damage to its infrastructure. It was a plot that proved historically remarkable for two reasons: the surprising extent of its success and the astounding nature of its failure. Soon after two U-Boats packed with explosives arrived on America's shores–one on Long Island, one in Florida–it became clear that the incompetence of the eight saboteurs was matched only by that of American authorities. In fact, had one of the saboteurs not tipped them off, the FBI might never have caught the plot's perpetrators–though a dozen witnesses saw a submarine moored on Long Island.
As told by Michael Dobbs, the story of the botched mission and a subsequent trial by military tribunal, resulting in the swift execution of six saboteurs, offers great insight into the tenor of the country--and the state of American intelligence--during World War II and becomes what is perhaps a cautionary tale for our times.]]> 2004 3 0 true Thu Apr 02 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 05 14:39:14 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 05 14:57:16 -0700 2009 more...]]> 69234986 1889868 1560693 0375414703 9780375414701 4 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185234661m/1560693.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1185234661s/1560693.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1560693.Saboteurs_The_Nazi_Raid_on_America 3.72 18
