Over Here - Paperback

by James Hockenberry (Author)

Over Here is the first book in the World War I Intrigue Series highlights the unknown undeclared war Germany fought in America in 1915 - 1916. The Series dramatizes America's involvement in the transformational Great War and richly depict the tensions and controversies of the times.

Action moves from New York Harbor and across Manhattan to the power centers of Washington and Berlin.
Gil Martin, Paul Keller of New York City's Bomb Squad and clandestine operator Shannon Tunney face well financed German saboteurs who begin to bomb American factories and cargo ships. Treachery abounds. Stakes mount. The saboteurs obliterate Black Tom Island, a major munitions depot behind the Statue of Liberty. Action culminates when German agents attack Wall Street in a desperate attempt to terrorize and destroy America's financial center. Over Here draws upon events 100 years old, but the story is a current one describing crucial but little-known aspects of U.S. involvement in World War One.
The book foreshadows the attack on 9/11 and weaves together many of today's controversies: the war on terror, concerns about immigration, and the horrendous cost of modern war.
