Description - Major General George H. Sharpe and the Creation of the American Military Intelligence in the Civil War by Peter G. Tsouras
A biography of Major General George H. Sharpe, the creator of the first professional intelligence operation in America, which was fundamental to the Union's success in the Civil War. The vital role of the military all-source intelligence in the eastern theatre of operations during the U.S. Civil War is told through the biography of its creator, George H. Sharpe. With the discovery of the day-by-day journal of John C. Babcock, Sharpe's civilian deputy and order-of-battle analyst in late 1963, and the unpublished Hooker papers, Tsouras has discovered a unique window into the flow of intelligence reporting which gives a new perspective in the study of military operations in the U.S. Civil War. AUTHOR: Peter Tsouras is a retired analyst of military all-source intelligence for the U.S. Government (National Ground Intelligence Center and the Defense Intelligence Agency). He is also a retired Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve and has written 30 books on military history and alternate military history as a military historian and biographer. 16 pages of b/w illustrations
