Originally published in 1915, this work was partly meant as a sequel to the author's popular work ""German Spies in England."" I is a collection of rallying chapters about the perils of going war and the problems which must be overcome if Britain was to be victorious. The fact that this publication was written so early in the war gives great insight into the public fears as Europe embarked on years of bloodshed. This book is part of the World War One Centenary series; creating, collating and reprinting new and old works of poetry, fiction, autobiography and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history. Each publication also includes brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the reader place the work in its historical context.
