" Dark Invasion" by Howard Blum is a wonderful work of nonfiction.
It's about German espionage and sabotage in the United States beginning in 1915 when we were still neutral in World War I.
Britain had a very strong, navy, controlled the seas and was able to obtain material from the US. Germany, on the other hand was eligible to obtain supplies from the neutral US except the British Navy prevented it by controlling the sea.
The various sinister ways Germany went about sabotaging cargo bound for Britain are presented in this book.
There was no FBI or other federal agency to look into this type of thing. In the end, it was a New York City detective that busted the case wide open.
I don't want to say too much and spoil it. I'll finish by saying this true story is fascinating and reads as good as any espionage thriller. it's available on Amazon for eight dollars.
