Folio Society Edition ‘The Zimmerman Telegram’ by Barbara Tuchman. A gripping account that reveals the events that finally brought the United States into the First World War. British decoders intercepted the Telegram to the president of Mexico to join Germany and Japan in an invasion of the United States. Britain informed the U.S. government without revealing that the German code had been broken. Under President Woodrow Wilson, the United States entered into the First World War.

This luxurious, high quality volume has not been opened to be read. The spine is not broken, there is no shelf wear. To take a few photos, I very carefully slightly opened the book.
