Guy Gaunt: the Boy from Ballarat who talked america into the Great War

Anthony Delano

4.9/5 (19991 ratings)

Description:Guy Gaunt belongs to the secret life of the 20th Century. Only now can it be seen how his influence on American affairs helped change the course of history. When the Great War began he was the British naval attaché in Washington, beached for recklessness at sea. On his own initiative he took over a nation-wide underground of Little People, former subjects of the Austro-Hungarian empire that the powerful German-American establishment in the United States relied upon for support. Thanks to Guy and his network every move Germans made to prevent America from supporting the Allies was thwarted,. His revelations about their subversive activities nudged President Woodrow Wilson away from neutrality. But rather than hail his achievements, the Foreign Office in London marked Guy as a troublemaker and took a cruel revenge. Guy’s story becomes even more remarkable when he is seen to be one of a tribe of young Gaunts that surged out of the turbulent goldfields of Australia. By courage and low cunning he followed his older brother Ernest in becoming an admiral of the Royal Navy. By sheer swagger and horsemanship the eldest of the boys, Cecil, charged up the ranks of a prestigious British cavalry regiment. The two youngest made careers in the Law, Clive as Crown Prosecutor of Burma, Lancelot as a Singapore legal wizard who punctuated his career with bizarre escapades. The oldest sister, Mary—Minnie—was every bit as ambitious and wily as her brothers. Intrepid solo journeys across West Africa and China and a string of novels made her a world-class literary star. Lucy, the younger, presided over Australia’s first university college for women. No other family ever produced a generation like these Gaunts.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
