The Sinister Shadow That Hovers
Over Washington
the vast system of spying, intrigue and propaganda that spreads over this country "like a
pall of poison-gas"
the peril that lies in wait, ready to spring at the first sign of Democracy's weakness or hesi
tation undisclosed facts about the real rulers of Germany, a company of unknown men, housed in
a gloomy building on the Wilhelmstrasse, whose orders even the Kaiser must obey
"Face to Face With Kaiserism"
AMBASSADOR GERARD'S
SECOND GREAT BOOK
strips the mask from Prussian propaganda, lays bare the inner workings of the spy system, and
warns America of dangers too serious to be longer overlooked.
It deals with things AS THEY ARE TODAY with conditions that few Americans fully
realize, but that threaten the lives of our "boys over there," as well as our peace and security
at home.
