Beschreibung

Britain's Deadly Peril: Are We Told The Truth? is a book written by William Le Queux in 1915. The book is a work of non-fiction and explores the potential dangers that Britain was facing during World War I. Le Queux questions whether the government was being truthful with the public about the severity of the situation and argues that the country was in grave danger from German spies and saboteurs. The book discusses various incidents of espionage and sabotage that had taken place in Britain and raises concerns about the effectiveness of the country's security measures.

Autor

Anglo-French journalist and author William Tufnell Le Queux was born on July 2, 1864, and died on October 13, 1927. He was also a diplomat (honorary consul for San Marino), a traveler (in Europe, the Balkans, and North Africa), a fan of flying (he presided over the first British air meeting at Doncaster in 1909), and a wireless pioneer who played music on his own station long before radio was widely available. However, he often exaggerated his own skills and accomplishments. The Great War in England in 1897 (1894), a fantasy about an invasion by France and Russia, and The Invasion of 1910 (1906), a fantasy about an invasion by Germany, are his best-known works. Le Queux was born in the city. The man who raised him was English, and his father was French. He went to school in Europe and learned art in Paris from Ignazio (or Ignace) Spiridon. As a young man, he walked across Europe and then made a living by writing for French newspapers. He moved back to London in the late 1880s and managed the magazines Gossip and Piccadilly. In 1891, he became a parliamentary reporter for The Globe. He stopped working as a reporter in 1893 to focus on writing and traveling.
