In 1942, a group of German agents landed on the east coast of America, intent on spreading trouble - by disabling transportation and manufacturing and other organizations important in the US war effort. However, one thing after another went wrong and the mission was a failure. 

 I had no idea! What an exciting read! I did a lot of shaking my head at the stupidity, by both Americans and Germans. I loved the details of their meals, the shopping trips, the fancy clothes and hotel stays. Includes an epilogue showing how this story influenced decisions after the 9-11 attack, sources including declassified government documents, books and websites.
