In Plain Sight
Felix A. Sommerfeld was a German secret service agent assigned to Mexico. During the Mexican Revolution (1910 to 1920) he became a close confidante of Mexican President Madero as well as revolutionary leaders Carranza and Villa. He significantly influenced German and American foreign policy towards Mexico.
Spying for Hitler
When Hitler was striving for recognition and relevance in the political turmoil of the early Weimar years in Germany he gave little thought to the world on the other side of the Atlantic other than to nurture a constant nagging resentment over President Wilson’s role in the post-war evisceration of Germany at Versailles in 1919. It was the United States, however, that had bankrolled the German economy to substantially boost industrial production and employment in the 1920s and the evidence of American wealth and economic power was hard to ignore. Even when the Nazis took over in Germany after the elections of March 1933, Hitler’s narrow vision was still concentrated on consolidating his ...
The Secret War on the United States in 1915
The Secret War Council, Germany’s spy organization in New York, received orders from Berlin to stop the flow of munitions through terrorism in January 1915. German agents in the U.S. firebombed freighters on the high seas, incited labor unrest, fomented troubles along the Mexican-American border, and damaged or destroyed dozens of American factories and logistics installations. The German secret war against the United States in 1915, its discovery and publication, combined with the disastrous sinking of the Lusitania in May of that year, did much to prepare the American public to finally accept joining the Entente powers against Germany in 1917. This is the story of a group of German agents in the United States, who executed this mission.
Felix A. Sommerfeld and the Mexican Front in the Great War
The German government decided in the fall of 1914 to corner the U.S. arms and ammunition market to the detriment of England and France. In New York German Military Attaché Franz von Papen and Naval Attaché Karl Boy-Ed could not think of anyone more effective and with better connections than Felix A. Sommerfeld to sell off the weapons and ammunition to Mexico. A few months later, Sommerfeld received orders to create a border incident. Tensions along the U.S. - Mexican border suddenly increased in a wave of border raids under the Plan de San Diego. When Pancho Villa attacked the town of Columbus, NM, on March 9, 1916, virtually the entire regular U.S. Army descended upon Mexico or patrolled the border. War seemed inevitable. Federal agents could not prove it, but suspected German involvement. Felix A. Sommerfeld and fellow agents had forced the hand of the U.S. government through some of the most intricate clandestine operations in the history of World War I.
Burn, Bomb, Destroy
“A fascinating tale of international intrigue, geopolitics, divided loyalties, and criminal investigations during wartime.” —New York Journal of Books Many believe that World War I was only fought “over there,” as the popular 1917 song goes, in the trenches and muddy battlefields of Northern France and Belgium—they are wrong. There was a secret war fought in America; on remote railway bridges and waterways linking the United States and Canada; aboard burning and exploding ships in the Atlantic Ocean; in the smoldering ruins of America’s bombed and burned-out factories, munitions plants, and railway centers; and waged in carefully disguised clandestine workshops where improvised...
Abraham Lincoln and Mexico
This is a book which is long overdue and one that treats Lincoln as an international figure, not merely an American one. It examines events leading to the US invasion of Mexico, Lincoln's opposition to it in the Congress, his support of Mexico as President during and after the US Civil War, and the impact of the Mexican-American War nationally and internationally. It also includes documents from archives in the USA and Mexico.
Mercenaires, anarchistes et bandits en Révolution -Des étrangers sur la terre du Mexique (1910-1917)
L'histoire de la Révolution mexicaine se résume pour beaucoup à ses emblèmes, Pancho Villa et Emiliano Zapata, figures mythiques, mélanges de folklore et d'aventure. Pourtant, le conflit qui a secoué le pays entre 1910 et 1917 fera un million de morts, et préfigure par certains aspects la Première Guerre mondiale tant par les techniques employées que par le jeu des grandes puissances. Une révolution populaire qui se déroule aux portes des États-Unis, un voisin agressif, qui n'hésitera pas à intervenir : Pershing, Eisenhower ou MacArthur y feront leurs premières armes. Phénomène national, alimenté par les profondes divisions sociales et les antagonismes régionaux, la Révolution mexicaine n'ignore pas l'étranger : dans ce pays divers, vivent des dizaines de milliers d'immigrés de toutes origines (Américains, Chinois, Japonais, Français). Beaucoup sont liés à l'Europe, et notamment à la France. Mercenaires, diplomates, hommes d'affaires ou employés, mais aussi militants, anarchistes et bandits y jouent un rôle important, souvent méconnu. Situer ces étrangers dans le conflit, c'est revoir la Révolution mexicaine sous un nouvel angle, résolument mondial.
