Description

July, 1914. Paul Meyer is in a lot of trouble. Following a bungled bank robbery, he spends his days lying low, working in his father's Brooklyn motor garage... terrified of the day someone will spot him and have him hauled away by the cops. And then he gets his golden ticket: War in Europe. Being of German descent, Paul seizes the chance to get away from America and fight for 'the Fatherland'. Who would recognise him there? Fighting for the 'Hun' does not turn out to be what Paul had imagined and the more he learns of Kaiser Wilhelm II, Supreme War Lord, the less supportive he becomes of the German cause. When his airship takes a dive on a bombing mission, 'Seemann Meyer' grabs another chance to start over. But now he could be arrested and shot as a deserter. With two crimes under his belt, Paul finds himself navigating his own minefield to survive the war. In the months that follow, Paul becomes witness to major events of the First World War, as the city of Antwerp falls to German forces. Paul's fortunes - or misfortunes - take him from being a hunted criminal to German soldier to American journalist and spy to boot, his adventures leading him deep into the heart of German politics. But will this wanted man's luck last? In the chaos of wartime, will Paul Meyer continue to dodge arrest? How will things finally turn out for the Kaiser's American? This fascinating story reveals the plight and experiences of soldiers and civilians caught up in the highly volatile early stages of the First World War and depicts the humanitarian side to the history of these events. Ed Klekowski has spent lengthy periods in Belgium and France exploring places relevant to the First World War. He and his wife Libby Klekowski have produced two hour-long documentaries on the war for American Public Television and written two books about Americans who were in Belgium and France prior to America's entry into the war in 1917.
