https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_MortimerHere is the never-before-told, uncensoredand unafraid truth about what has happened to your world. This is the staggering story of sin, corruption, degradation, perversion, subver- sion, vice and international monkey business on a global scale. Around the World Confidential starts where Baedecker leaves off. It presents a kaleidoscopic picture of life in far-flung spots, a picture no writer has ever dared to tell—if, indeed, any other writer knew how to obtain the facts documented herein.Not since Mark Twain's Innocents Abroad has an American dealt so irreverently with the legends and deceits of other lands which have been sold to Americans as sacred gospel. From London, proud Queen of the Empire, where scions swish on Piccadilly, gangsters thumb noses at the Yard, and streetwalkers set the social standards in snooty Mayfair, to Greece with all the vices but few of the virtues of the days of glory; from German Hamburg, most wide-open city on earth, and Copenhagen, with its Tom-cat morals in a "welfare" state, to India, where evil political fakirs hatched a global Hindu con game to camouflage domestic anarchy and indecency; from the new Paris, a sucker trap for tourists, where American VlP's see sights the guide books don't mention while Frenchmen damn America, to Siam's harems and opium dens as seen from the inside-Morti- mer shines a relentless spotlight on world wide high jinks and low living.
