Book Synopsis Throttled! The Detection of the German and Anarchist Bomb Plotters by : Thomas J. Tunney
Book excerpt: This publication is intended to provide the perspective of the law enforcement officials involved in stopping several bombing attempts on U.S. soil by Imperial German government spies. This includes the attempt by Eric Muenter, who while employed as a German professor to teach at Harvard and Cornell University, was involved in several plots. In 1915, he planted a bomb that exploded in the US Capitol, shot Jack Morgan, son of financier J. P. Morgan in his home, and predicted the bombing of a steamship bound for England before committing suicide while in police custody.
