Some very interesting tales of intelligence work during the American Civil War. The Union was so unprepared, and so prone to information-leakage, it's a wonder they won. Entertaining, albeit a little dated, scholarship. Particularly problematic is Bakeless's treatment of female spies, whom he manages to both admire and treat paternalistically.
I'm reading this for a class I'm taking. We'll see.
SO BORING.
