  • "Woodrow Wilson's decision to join the Allies in World War I is analyzed as we are introduced to Kaiser Wilhelm, unable to decide if the Japanese are the yellow peril or the natural allies of Germany; Pancho Villa, who thought Wilson his friend until the United States refused to support him in a revolution; and Wilson himself, in whom were matched those curious siblings, moral certitude and hidden rage."@en
  • "In January of 1917, the war in Europe was, at best, a tragic standoff. Britain knew that Europe could be saved only if the United States joined the war. But President Wilson was unshakable in his neutrality and in his efforts to mediate peace. Then, with a single stroke, the tool to propel the United States into World War I came into a quiet British office. One of countless messages intercepted and read by the crack team of British decoders in room 40, the Zimmermann telegram was a topsecret message to the President of Mexico, inviting Mexico to join Germany and Japan in an invasion of the United States. Mexico's reward: recovery of her lost American territories. Germany's goal: to keep American fully occupied on her side of the Atlantic."@en

One of countless messages intercepted by the crack team of British decoders, the Zimmermann telegram was a top-secret message from Berlin inviting Mexico to join Japan in an invasion of the United States: Mexico would recover her lost American territories while keeping the U.S. occupied on her side of the Atlantic. How Britain managed to inform America of Germany's plan without revealing that the German codes had been broken makes for an incredible, true story of espionage, intrigue, and international politics as only Barbara W. Tuchman could tell it"--Publisher's description."

  • "Acclaimed historian Barbara W. Tuchman explores the events surrounding the Zimmerman Telegram, Germany's plead to Mexico to attack the United States thus ensuring they wouldn't enter the First World War. While President Wilson remained rather neutral in the war's beginning, Britain used this intercepted message to secure United States' allied participation in the war."@en
