Plotting for Peace: American Peacemakers, British Codebreakers, and Britain at W

Description: Plotting for Peace by Daniel Larsen Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Daniel Larsen reveals the dramatic role of British codebreaking during the First World War - leading to a revolutionary re-interpretation of U.S. President Woodrow Wilsons diplomacy, British Prime Ministers H.H. Asquiths and David Lloyd Georges war leaderships, British intelligence, and the Anglo-American economic relationship during the war. Publisher Description With Britain by late 1916 facing the prospect of an economic crisis and increasingly dependent on the US, rival factions in Asquiths government battled over whether or not to seek a negotiated end to the First World War. In this riveting new account, Daniel Larsen tells the full story for the first time of how Asquith and his supporters secretly sought to end the war. He shows how they supported President Woodrow Wilsons efforts to convene a peace conference and how British intelligence, clandestinely breaking American codes, aimed to sabotage these peace efforts and aided Asquiths rivals. With Britain reading and decrypting all US diplomatic telegrams between Europe and Washington, these decrypts were used in a battle between the Treasury, which was terrified of looming financial catastrophe, and Lloyd George and the generals. This books findings transform our understanding of British strategy and international diplomacy during the war.
