Plot

[edit]

During the early years of World War I, America maintained neutrality in theory but in practice it traded only with the Allies. Germany sought to sabotage that trade and prevent America supplies reaching the Allies. The German efforts included spying, planting bombs in ships and factories, bombing the U.S. Capitol, and shooting the financier J.P. Morgan, Jr.[1]

On January 14, 2013, Warner Bros. acquired the film rights to the book, and set Bradley Cooper to star and produce through his 22 & Indiana Pictures, along with John Lesher through his Le Grisbi Productions, and Adam Kassan.[2]
