Zimmerman Telegram

Book info: Zimmerman Telegram (Hardcover, 7 pages – Books on Tape) – Books on Tape. Language: Eng.

In the Zimmerman Telegram, Barbara W. Tuchman analyzes Woodrow Wilson's decision to join the Allies in WW1. She introduces us to Kaiser Wilhelm, unable to decide if the Japanese are the yellow peril or the natural allies of Germany; Pancho Villa, who thought Wilson hsi amigo until the United States refused to support him in a revolution; and Wilson himself, in whom were matched those curious siblings, moral certitude and hidden rage. "Told with great literary and dramatic talent...herbook should take a place near the top of studies concerning the entrance of the U.S. into WW1. Its value lies in her brilliant use of well-known materials, her sureness of insight and her grasp of this complicated chapter of diplomatic history." (The New York Times)
