The author examines the social, cultural and political life, along
with their ethnic consciousness, of Philadelphia's Germans from
their participation in the founding of the colony of Pennsylvania
to the entry of the United States into World War I. The book
focuses on their paradoxical transformation from loyal citizens who
made great contributions as they became increasingly Americanized
to a people viewed as a foreign threat to the safety and security
of the city and nation. It also considers the policies and
treatment of government and views of the local press in reporting
and interpreting the dilemma of German Americans during the
transition.
