Description
Plotting for Peace: American Peacemakers, British Codebreakers, and Britain at War, 1914–1917 offers a compelling examination of the secret diplomatic efforts and intelligence operations that unfolded during the First World War. Daniel Larsen explores how American peacemakers, motivated by President Woodrow Wilson’s vision of peace, engaged in clandestine communications with British officials while British codebreakers intercepted and analyzed these sensitive messages.
The book reveals how these intersecting worlds of diplomacy and espionage influenced Britain’s military and political decisions during the war. Through meticulous research, Larsen demonstrates how intelligence gathering shaped negotiations, affected strategic planning, and ultimately influenced the course of the conflict. This groundbreaking work challenges conventional narratives about American neutrality and British wartime strategy, exposing the complex web of secret communications and backroom diplomacy that characterized international relations during this pivotal period.
