Saboteur, (Paperback)

In 1916, as World War I raged, the United States relied on its neutral status as protection against attacks at sea by German U-boats and continued to deliver war supplies to European countries at war with Germany.

Widespread sentiment within the large German-American populations of New York and New Jersey fostered the belief that America was aiding Germany's enemies and should be punished for her illegal activity. An underground ring of German-American saboteurs working as dockworkers, directed by German agents, carried out numerous sabotage operations against ships destined for Europe.

No one could imagine that there might be a lone German-Canadian citizen carrying out similar attacks in the port of Halifax, secretly supported by German agents in New York.

In Dec 1917, the last voyage of the ammunition ship Mont Blanc unfolds as it makes its way to meet its cataclysmic fate that is forever tied to the history of Halifax.

Was the ensuing explosion an accident or the result of the saboteur's support by German agents operating out of New York?
