Spies and Spy Masters of the Civil War
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I had found one chapter of this book on line and used it in my Civil War Unit in U.S. History. I was delighted to find the entire book and have been really entertained and enlightened by it. It adds a deeper dimension to our study. There is so much information--many spies I already knew about but there were many I had never heard of. I also like the added information in the newer edition that tells what happened to the spies after the war was over.
Spies of the Civil War
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is a great all-round reference to the world of Civil War espionage. It has an almost encyclopedia-type approach, giving the names of every known spy, both male and female, and on both sides of the war. It profiles their tactics, equipment, motives, and, for many, their fates, and tells real-life stories of dashing heroics and close escapes. In short, if you want to read about the spies and espionage of the Civil War, this is your book.

If you want an excellent look at the cloak and dagger world of spying, during the American Civil War,then this is a great start.If you're a history buff on warfare,then this book will not disappoint you.I enjoy reading about military history and the social actions leading to the declarations of war.Battle areas are interestingly called 'theatres'.And i'm always fascinated by the inter-play of the opposing armies and the power-brokers behind the scenes.If you have a keen sense of European social history,you will be intrigued by this look at the American internecine war of the 19th century.For those who want a complete understanding of current American political diplomatic strategies,domestic and foreign,you have to understand the American Civil War.
