"In 1942, Hitler's Nazi regime trained eight operatives for a
mission to infiltrate America and do devastating damage to its
infrastructure. It was a plot that proved historically remarkable
for two reasons: the surprising extent of its success and the
astounding nature of its failure. Soon after two U-Boats packed
with explosives arrived on America's shores-one on Long Island, one
in Florida-it became clear that the incompetence of the eight
saboteurs was matched only by that of American authorities. In
fact, had one of the saboteurs not tipped them off, the FBI might
never have caught the plot's perpetrators-though a dozen witnesses
saw a submarine moored on Long Island.
As told by Michael Dobbs, the story of the botched mission and a
subsequent trial by military tribunal, resulting in the swift
execution of six saboteurs, offers great insight into the tenor of
the country--and the state of American intelligence--during World
War II and becomes what is perhaps a cautionary tale for our times.
