About This Book

Presented as the diary of a war correspondent, the narrative imagines a 1921 German attack on the United States that begins with sabotage of the Panama Canal and escalates into naval, air, and amphibious invasions. It follows coastal battles, urban occupations and martial law in major cities, airship and submarine engagements, espionage and civil unrest, daring rescues and fraught negotiations, and episodes involving military leaders and public figures. Vivid battlefield scenes alternate with accounts of civic panic and individual bravery as improvised defenses form and organized resistance mounts into coordinated counterattacks.
