Foreword and wartime espionage in The Dark Invader
A foreword by A E W Mason discusses intelligence service operatives during World War I, distinguishing neutrals who aid the enemy from patriots who serve their country. It highlights Captain Franz von Rintelen and the memoir style, noting the book’s factual balance, human strain, and insights into the English Intelligence Services. The narrative shifts to a Berlin intrigue about securing gold via railway to Constantinople, involving Geheimrat von Lamm and Reichsbank, with police pursuit and logistical obstacles.
