Reviews

Michael Fuhlhage's Yankee Reporters and Southern Secrets is a welcomed addition to the history of the United States' greatest internal crisis. What makes this study stand out is the innovative idea of considering the press as open source intelligence, which it most certainly was. After Harpers Ferry and Lincoln's election, the South armed itself and organized those arms, and this was in plain view for anybody who wanted to see it. Fuhlhage does yeoman's work mining the record of this phenomenon. -David W. Bulla, Augusta University
