Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

[Chevalier d'Eon] [Military Intelligence] Barton, George. The World's Greatest Military Spies and Secret Service Agents (1917) presents a historical survey of espionage figures whose activities shaped military intelligence traditions from the eighteenth century through the modern era. Among the figures highlighted are Chevalier d'Éon, the French diplomat and intelligence agent whose life intersected with eighteenth-century European covert diplomacy and whose later public identity as a woman made the figure one of the most historically significant examples of gender nonconformity associated with espionage. Barton also recounts Lydia Darrah [Darragh], the Philadelphia Quaker who secretly relayed British military plans to American forces during the Revolutionary War after overhearing officers discussing an impending attack. By including both figures, the book places women and gender-nonconforming intelligence actors within a broader narrative of military espionage that extends beyond conventional battlefield agents. Barton, George. The World's Greatest Military Spies and Secret Service Agents. Boston: The Page Company, 1917. First impression, October 1917. The illustrated volume recounts notable espionage episodes drawn from European and American history. Interior plates include a portrait of "Chevalier d'Eon," and historical scenes such as, "The Capture of Major André," referencing the exposure of Benedict Arnold's treason plot during the American Revolution. The work is dedicated to William J. Flynn, Chief of the United States Secret Service during World War I, situating the publication within a period when intelligence institutions and counterespionage activities were expanding in response to global conflict. Issued during the year the United States entered World War I, Barton's study appeared amid heightened public attention to espionage, sabotage, and intelligence operations. By connecting Revolutionary War informants such as Lydia Darrah with European intelligence figures like Chevalier d'Éon, the book constructs a historical lineage for espionage that predates the professional intelligence services emerging in the twentieth century. The inclusion of these two figures also broadens the narrative of intelligence history to include participants whose activities unfolded outside traditional military command structures. Octavo. Illustrated with plates. Blue pictorial cloth stamped in gilt and black. Light edge wear and mild fading to spine with occasional interior toning. Overall, very good condition. The inclusion of Chevalier d'Éon and Lydia Darragh expands the narrative of espionage to include women and gender-nonconforming figures whose intelligence work intersected with diplomatic and military conflict.…
