Sumario:"Lincoln's Spy follows the Civil War career of Charles A. Dana, who began the war as managing editor of the New York Tribune and was hired by Abraham Lincoln and War Secretary Edwin Stanton to be the government's roving troubleshooter and confidential informant at the front. Carl Guarneri tracks Dana's experiences, with plenty of never-before-examined sources and events, to provide a panorama of the war, with special emphasis on decisions about strategy and generals, Lincoln's war leadership, organizing victory at the War Department, and undercover operations related to spies, political lobbying, and the contraband trade"--
