Autorenporträt
Anglo-French journalist and author William Tufnell Le Queux (18 July 1864 - 13 October 1927) was born in England. Both The Great War in England (1897) and The Invasion of 1910 (1906), the latter of which became a blockbuster, were written by him. Although he eventually gave Germany this position, his partial French background did not stop him from portraying France and the French as villains in works from the 1890s. In the years before World War I, he published invasion novels and pulp espionage tales. His collaboration with Lord Northcliffe resulted in the serialized publishing and promotion of intrusion and espionage tales. The Invasion of 1910, a book by Le Queux, debuted in serial form in March 1906. It was a great hit and made Le Queux a tidy sum of money. Le Queux had a keen interest in wireless transmission and radio communication. For ""rumbling their ambitions,"" he asked the Germans for further protection during World War I. Le Queux asserted that Jack the Ripper was a Russian physician by the name of Alexander Pedachenko who carried out the killings in an effort to perplex and mock Scotland Yard.
