Le Queux was the first and most prolific of all British spy
writers, but Spies of the Kaiser was not just another tale of
scheming foreigners and plucky British heroes, for this paranoid
tale of German secret agents plotting the invasion of Britain
played a major part in the formation of MI5, Britain's
counter-espionage organisation. In his introduction, intelligence
historian Nicholas Hiley explains how Le Queux's powerful blend of
fact and fiction inspired a whole generation of British secret
service officers, and led MI5 in a nation-wide hunt for a
non-existent enemy.
