Originally published in 1918, with a foreword by Theodore Roosevelt, this book consists of the text of 65 telegrams which date from 1904 to 1907. The introduction states that these telegrams give ©a clear insight into the system responsible for the sinking of the Lusitania, the use of poisonous gases, the violation of Belgium, the enslavement of Jews in German Poland and Lithuania, the spurious promises to Poland, the sending of explosives in German diplomatic pouches to neutral countries to blow up neutral ships, the dissemination of germs to kill cattle and destroy crops, the baby-killing Zeppelin raids, and the policy of 'spurlos versenkt.'©
