Summary

New York, 1916. America is supposedly neutral in the war but they are shipping huge quantities of supplies to the allies. However, it being a nation of immigrants means loyalties across the United States are divided and members of the German-American community are causing trouble. Led by Franz von Papen and funded from Berlin, a ring of spies and saboteurs are trying to disrupt these arms shipments any way they can. Soon their eyes will turn to Black Tom Island, America’s largest arms depot, which sits in the Hudson. Join David Olusoga and Sarah Churchwell in the first episode of Journey Through Time to hear about the forgotten terror attack that shocked America to its core.
