Spy Proof America!

J. Francis Logan

Dive into a passionate call to action from the First World War, as we explore a volunteer civilian anti-spy organization dedicated to identifying and eliminating enemy spies within the USA. While this organization may not have achieved the authors ambitious vision, others like the American Protective League took up the mantle. With a rallying cry of Greatest Publication Since the Civil War! and an urgent plea for citizens to join the Voluntary Secret Service - V. S. S., this piece encapsulates the spirit of a nation determined to secure a swift and honorable victory. (Introduction by TriciaG & from publication)
