About this product

Product Information

Thomas B. Allen's follow-up to the multi-award-winning George Washington, Spymaster is now available in paperback. This compelling biography tells the amazing tale of Harriet Tubman using details uncovered from military and intelligence archives, diaries and little-known memoirs from ex-slaves. In a compelling narrative, surprising new facts about Harriet's story are brought to light: readers discover that the ex-slave who led hundreds to freedom along the Underground Railroad was also a spy for the Union Army! Harriet Tubman, Secret Agent brings readers deep into the undercover world of African-American spies-enslaved and liberated-risking everything in the name of freedom. How were the Underground Railroad and slave songs used to pass secret messages? What were "contrabands" and "black dispatches?" What did Harriet share with the Secret Six and a maidservant in the home of Confederate President Jefferson Davis? The answers are revealed as history's irresistible plot unfolds. This detailed account of one of America's most fascinating figures provides an authoritative source for paper writers and research students. Thomas B. Allen's narrative is augmented with attractive woodcuts by Carla Bauer, archival photographs, artwork, and maps. The time line of events, references to Web sites, footnotes with extensive source listings, and comprehensive index make Allen's biography an invaluable addition to every public and school library.

Harriet Tubman leading Civil War military intelligence operative
Harriet Tubman was the chief military intelligence operative for the Army of the Potomac. Her missions into enemy territory (Virginia, North & South Carolina), according to General Grant, was "worth many regiments to the northern forces." She and her scouts set up intelligence networks among slaves and free Blacks who in turn reported on Confederate army troop size, movements and fortifications. Her previous experience freeing and ferrying slaves via the Underground Railroad was preparation for her Civil War duties of traversing behind Confederate lines, Because many intelligence records were destroyed after the war to protect Union secret operatives, many of her spying activities are lost to history. Her intelligence activities eventually led her to become the only woman in the US to plan, organize and lead an amphibious assault. This was under her command by the Union Navy and Black troops on the coast of South Carolina. This is remarked upon by the US Marine Corps Command & Staff College as well as by the CIA.Read full review
