Summary:
Though much has been written about the American Civil War itself, little has been written about the spy war that went on within. The chronicling of Civil War intelligence activities challenges historians because of the lack of records, the lack of access to records, and the questionable truth of other records.
Contents:
Saving Mr. Lincoln
Intelligence collection, the South
Intelligence collection, the North
The Bureau of Military Information
Black dispatches
Intelligence's new tools
Intelligence overseas
Conspiracy in Canada.
