About This Item
Kent, OH: Kent State University Press, 1995. 1st Ed. Hardbound. 8vo. 4 Pgs.. Fine in Good DJ/Good. April �65: Confederate Covert Action in the American Civil War by William A Tidwell. Published by Kent State University Press, Kent, OH, 1995. 1st Edition. Hardbound. Paper DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: Fine in Good DJ. 264 Pgs. ISBN 0873385152. LCCN 94-33226. The author establishes the existence of a Confederate Secret Service and clarifies the Confederate decision-making process to show the role played by Jefferson Davis in clandestine operations. While the book focuses on the Confederate Secret Service's involvement with the Lincoln assassination, the information presented has implications for various other aspects of the Civil War. The most thorough description of the Confederate Secret Service to date, the book provides previously unknown records and traces the development of Confederate doctrine for the conduct of irregular warfare. In addition, it describes Confederate motives and activities associated with the development of a major covert effort to promote the creation of a peace party in the North. It shows in detail how the Confederates planned to attack the military command and control in Washington and how they responded to the situation when the wartime attack evolved into a peacetime assassination. One of the most significant pieces of new information is how the Confederates were successful in influencing the history of the assassination. Description text copyright 2011 BooksForComfort.
