Description
In the dark winter of 1917, as World War I was deadlocked, Britain knew that Europe could be saved only if the United States joined the war. But President Wilson remained unshakable in his neutrality. Then, with a single stroke, the tool to propel America into the war came into a quiet British office. One of countless messages intercepted by the crack team of British decoders, the Zimmermann telegram was a top-secret message from Berlin inviting Mexico to join Japan in an invasion of the United States. Mexico would recover her lost American territories while keeping the U.S. occupied on her side of the Atlantic.
How Britain managed to inform America of Germany's plan without revealing that the German codes had been broken makes for an incredible, true story of espionage, intrigue, and international politics, as only Barbara W. Tuchman could tell it.

A slice of history, cut from the fabric of war and left with enough details to be interesting
In some history books this little incident is given just a paragraph or two. The book here dives into this moment and sets up the board, explains who the pieces are and references their dairies and later thoughts to try to understand why they took the actions that they did.
Overall it is a masterful look at a couple of months of history and a single piece of information that would change the world. As the conclusion goes, perhaps some other information would have done it as well, but it might have been too late.
Heck, if you are a fan of risk and other multiplayer tactical games this book is a fun look at how in the real world the same sort of politics around the table can happen. Six players in the game and one mostly untouched, an aggressive player trying to get 2 others to join them in a surprise attack on that untouched foe as it would take the three of them working on concert to bring them down. A sudden loss of another changes the game and everything goes quickly from there.
