About this Item
Description:
Octavo, reddish-brown cloth covers stamped in yellow, xii + 318 pages. Includes chronology and index. Book is in near fine condition. No dust jacket. Reiss was a writer and journalist of German-Jewish origins, educated primarily in Germany, and then Paris. He fled to Paris shortly after Hitler became Chancellor in 1933. Along with his duty as a war correspondent some have claimed that Riess also engaged in the surveillance of Nazi activities, serving as a spy for the United States military. This book was written before the United States entered World War II. (The foreword is dated October, 1941). Reiss states in the foreword: "Total War necessitates total espionage. This then, is the story of the greatest espionage organization of all time; of the apparatus which the Nazis have built up in order to cover the world with a net of total espionage." 082504C Spies, Spying, World War II, Nazis.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Curt Reiss went into exile in 1933 but retained a network of contacts across Europe and from within the Nazi regime who supplied him with the material that forms the basis of this study. First published in 1941, when 'new material kept pouring in almost up to the last day of the writing', it sheds light on the extent of the Third Reich's spying activities in the run up to the Second World War and during its early years. .

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Total Espionage was first published shortly before Pearl Harbor and is fresh in its style, retaining immediacy unpolluted by the knowledge of subsequent events. It tells how the whole apparatus of the Nazi state was geared towards war by its systematic gathering of information and dissemination of disinformation. The author, a Berlin journalist, went into exile in 1933 and eventually settled in Manhattan in where he wrote for the Saturday Evening Post. He maintained a network of contacts throughout Europe and from inside the regime to garner his facts. The Nazis made use of many people and organizations: officers associations who were in touch with many who left to help organize the armies of South American countries, and in the USA there were the Friends of the New Germany. German consulates sprang up and aircraft would make unusual detours to observe interesting parts of foreign countries. News agencies and various associations dedicated to maintaining contacts with particular countries were encouraged to supply information. Film studios would send large crews abroad to shoot documentaries as well as perform acts of espionage. Foreign nationals were bribed or blackmailed; and pro-fascist groups in foreign countries were supported via the Auslandsorganization. All Germans living abroad were encouraged to report their observations to the authorities, particular attention was being focused on engineers, technicians, scientists and people in other professions who were particularly likely to obtain valuable information; however, other Germans abroad were also used, even cabaret singers, waiters, language teachers, as well as Germans travelling abroad as tourists. Germans living abroad were exempt from mobilization because of their value as spies. Foreigners were given opportunity to study in Germany, and connections with them were kept in the hope that they would one day provide useful information. All of this was Goebbels Total Espionage. It isn't done with Mirrors-the Nazi state's total mobilization of resources to gather information. How they built their international information gathering apparatus-an organization where no nugget of news was too small to be taken note off. This was Total Espionage. Riess, an ex-Berlin journalist had all of the contacts to know what was going on. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
