Gabriel Samara, Peacemaker (1925) is a novel by E. Phillips
Oppenheim. Written at the height of his career as a bestselling
author of political thrillers and genre fiction, Gabriel Samara,
Peacemaker is a story of romance and international intrigue
concerned with the geopolitical realities of its day. A monarchist,
Oppenheimer often wrote critically about socialists and anarchists
in his novels, fomenting antirevolutionary sentiment in his native
England and abroad. On a diplomatic trip to New York, legendary

Seeking assistance in the campaign to demilitarize Russia after the

negotiations-risk coming to nothing at all. With a beautifully
designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition
of E. Phillips Oppenheim's Gabriel Samara, Peacemaker is a classic
of English political fiction reimagined for modern readers.
