The book is mistitled because Mr. Dudley (U.S. Consul in Liverpool, England) was not responsible for Union intelligence operations. Mr. Dudley's use of intelligence about Confederate activities in Great Britain to support his diplomatic efforts on behalf of the United States did not make him a "spymaster." And, the book itself does not present enough information to justify the bold claim that Mr. Dudley "may well be seen as the father of modern American intelligence operations on the international front" (Introduction at p. xiii). Anyone interested in intelligence operations during the Civil War can find more comprehensive books on the subject than this one: for example, Donald E. Markle, Spies and Spymasters of the Civil War: Revised and Expanded Edition (Hippocene Books, 2004); William G. Beymer, Scouts and Spies of the Civil War (University of Nebraska Press, 2003); Edwin C. Fishel, The Secret War for the Union: The Untold Story of Military Intelligence in the Civil War(Houghton Mifflin Co., 1996).Despite its flaw in claiming more significance for Mr. Dudley's use of intelligence than is warranted by the contents of the book itself, this book is still worth looking at for anyone interested in Confederate efforts to obtain warships built by British shipyards, or the difficulties in U.S.-British foreign relations during the Civil War.
