Conclusion Appendix: Timeline of Revolution Era EventsNotesGlossary of Tradecraft TermsBibliographyIndexReviewsAn interesting history and useful textbook. As a history, it is impressive in both scholarship and readability. -- National Intelligence Professionals Even those familiar with the broad outlines of his story will find professional insights beyond the knowledge of academic historians... perhaps the best you are going to find on the birth of American intelligence. -- The Washington Times There have been a few books on this subject in recent decades but none have the breadth and scope of this one. And none are as well documented and written. Daigler reaches across the panoply of espionage activity and paints the big picture while diving deep in areas that are bound to fascinate the reader... One of the many things that sets this work apart from others like it is the author's personal experience in the trade of espionage. He draws from that to analyze many of the cases and he explains the aspects of espionage that have remained eternal: planning, security and communications. -- Yankee Doodle Spies series A great read on the American Revolution, particularly if, like me, you are not well versed in its details, as well as its geographic and political sweep. And for those of us in CI, it serves as a source of object lessons in how to do things well, and what mistakes to avoid. -- John McGonagle, Proactive Intelligence Provides a good review of intelligence in the Revolutionary War as viewed by a professional. -- Hayden Peake, Studies in Intelligence Author InformationKenneth A.
