Explicitly revisiting Barbara Tuchman's study of the same incident, Boghardt builds on what has been learned since then to put the telegram into new context. This is between the off-handed way the German initiative came about, how British intelligence sought to exploit their coup (while hiding the secret that they were exploiting American blind spots) and the mixed impact the revelation actually had on American policy and public opinion. To Boghardt, the continuing impact of this event is as a commentary on what happens when policy making suffers from fragmentation in wartime. (
