None of the incidents or dialogue in High Treason
has been invented by the author. The material has
been drawn from various documentary sources

Bibliographical Notes.
The reader of this book is not to infer from the tide, High Treason, that
any person named in the book has committed treason against the United
States Government. The title is derived from the concept defined in the
author's foreword. In those cases where treason against the United States
Government has been committed by persons named in this book, the author
has specifically indicated this fact.
