Britain's Deadly Peril: Are We Told the Truth?, Classics To Go

Originally published in 1915, this work was partly meant as a sequel to the author's popular work ""German Spies in England."" I is a collection of rallying chapters about the perils of going war and the problems which must be overcome if Britain was to be victorious. The fact that this publication was written so early in the war gives great insight into the public fears as Europe embarked on years of bloodshed.

William Le Queux

William Tufnell Le Queux (2 July 1864 – 13 October 1927) was an Anglo-French journalist and writer. He was also a diplomat (honorary consul for San Marino), a traveller (in Europe, the Balkans and North Africa), a flying buff who officiated at the first British air meeting at Doncaster in 1909, and a wireless pioneer who broadcast music from his own station long before radio was generally available; his claims regarding his own abilities and exploits, however, were usually exaggerated. His best-known works are the anti-French and anti-Russian invasion fantasy The Great War in England in 1897 (1894) and the anti-German invasion fantasy The Invasion of 1910 (1906), the latter becoming a bestseller.
