Few are aware of the equally important diplomatic and intelligence contest that raged between the North and South in Europe. While the Confederacy quickly sought the approval of Great Britain as a strategic ally, the Union utilized diplomacy and espionage to avert both the construction of a Confederate navy and the threat of war with England. At the forefront of the international fray was Thomas Haines Dudley, the American Consul in Liverpool, and \"the father of modern American intelligence.\" As the Confederates determined to utilize British shipyards, Dudley swiftly established a network of agents throughout England to report on enemy activities. Neither a blockade runner nor a warship secretly under production escaped Dudley's scrutiny. \u003cbr\u003eAuthor David Hepburn Milton expertly tells the story of the historically neglected Thomas Haines Dudley and his web of agents. Lincoln's Spymaster documents the victorious combination of Northern diplomacy, intelligence gathering, and mass mobilization of British public opinion that negated foreign intervention in the American Civil War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Hepburn Milton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0811736903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811736909\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stackpole Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"David Hepburn Milton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443706835199,"sku":"9780811736909","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5065dd13-7034-49cc-aee6-8c453b6d0e81.jpg?v=1777207280","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lincolns-spymaster-david-hepburn-milton-9780811736909","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
