Product Description

Frank McLynn, The Independent on Sunday
"...a tour-de-force of scholarship and an exciting and vivid piece of writing...an excellent book which clears up an incident which has always divided historians of the 'war between the States' and adds to Schultz's growing reputation as the leading Civil War historian of the 1990s." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Michael Carlson, Financial Times
"Dahlgren's is a fascinating story, yet it proves to be a mere springboard for Duane Schultz's even more entertaining tales about men and women who spied and organised the would-be terror campaigns." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

2.0 out of 5 stars This book wasa big disappointment., 8 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This is a well-written but poorly-argued effort to concoct a conspiracy theory about certain events in the Civil War. It is uses few primary sources and not well. It seems a clumsy combination of Jones' book Eight Hours Before Richmond and Tidwell's April '65 with very little that is new. Far too many errors of fact make it a poor account of either the Kilpatrick Raid or the Confederate spy service. It wasted my time and money.

4.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining read, if you don't mind factual errors..., 8 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This book was an easy, entertaining read. The tid-bits of Civil War trivia I picked up were well worth my time and money. However, the numerous factual errors that I detected cast a shadow of doubt on the reliability of these tid-bits.
