Questions and Answers from The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara

The spies were also for: clothes, style, people, and financial accusations. Their tactical skills were used in order to read a bigger picture and get an enhanced understanding of the small puzzle pieces that they were missing as to why they haven’t won the war yet. There were benefits like these for the war, but, there were also negative side effects to using these spies. The thought of spies was because of fear and self-doubt. The single most common emotion is fear, so during the war of course that would arise. The definition of fear, according to numerous dictionaries states: “an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat.” Common knowledge and working would conclude that this indeed sounds like any man that has ever led a battle. During the Cold War, there were a multitude of whys and wherefores that everyone would develop to be worked up. Spies would ease their minds just enough so that the leadership could sleep on that thought that by tomorrow, they would have new information to

This section of the book reveals vital information that the reader can use later on in the book. After the spy returns from his duty he chats with General Longstreet about the various things that he saw while working. He reveals all of the information and the spy starts casually talking about his job. He says, “Strange thing about it all, thing that bothers me is that when you do this job right nobody knows you’re doing it, nobody ever watches you work, do you see? And sometimes I can’t help but wish I had an audience.” (Shaara 11-12). This quote tells the reader that the spy is a very dedicated serviceman because nobody knows what he does, yet he still does it. That truly means he’s a man that fights for

Now you may be wondering about who these spies were, well one successful spy was Mary Bowser. There is not a lot of records on Mary, not even her actual birthday. However Mary was a Union spy and known as the best civil war spy. She had her own spy network and got a job as a servant in the confederate white house. She would clean the desk of Davis and was always had one eye our for information. She would use the same bakery man that Miss Van Lewis would use to transfer information. After the civil war Mary became a teacher for the free slaves and all of her records were disposed so she doesn't get

He was a war hero and spymaster. He was so modest that his memoir did not even state any detail on his intelligence accomplishments. He was the intelligence chief, and created America’s first spy ring, and that spy ring helped save the revolution. He monitored his spy ring, while also commanding soldiers and winning military victories. That was what piqued my interest in Ben: he was a spymaster. I have a huge interest in spies, but, once I looked into the biography of Benjamin Tallmadge, I realized that spies in modern, American fiction are much more different than 18th century spying. For one, they say that they gather ‘intelligence,’ a term that I have not thought about to be associated when I first think of a modern-day spy. Spy-crafts developed by Nathaniel Sackett were also very creative, such as the Trojan egg (“Turn: Washington’s Spies”). Benjamin Tallmadge, Abraham Woodhull, Caleb Brewster, Robert Townsend, Austin Roe, Jonas Hawkins, and Agent 355 managed the Culper Spy Ring, and I've learned how they worked in the 18th century, where spies were hanged for treason and such. I've come to the knowledge that the current Central Intelligence Agency may be quite different than the first spy ring. It can be said that George Washington’s Spy Ring set the foundations for “spy techniques” that are being used today in the CIA and FBI (DeFord). I've learned that the books in fiction portraying spies as undercover agents, trained when they were toddlers, being trained to catch criminals such as drug dealers or thieves, were very different. I've never thought of spies having to be discreet on gathering certain intelligence; but then, I've never thought about what it was like to spy for a military. I have a big fascination with spies, but Major Benjamin Tallmadge amplified and increased that fascination even further. I have learned a lot about the first spies of America, who helped save the

1) Historians have called Thomas Jefferson in terms of his life and work an “enigma.” Explain what this means using three examples from the film.

Nathan Hale is also another Revolutionary War spy. Hale became a martyr to the war cause. Hale was the captain in the colonial army. Word was sent from George Washington to Hale’s commander expressing his need for intelligence. No one would volunteer for the job. Hale decided it was his duty as an officer and to his country to take on the responsibility. He volunteered in front of his squad, which soon lead to his downfall.

A spy is a person who secretly collects information on the activities, movements, and plans of an enemy of the law. Sanger Rainsford, the Protagonist in The Most Dangerous Game, could be a perfect candidate for the role of a spy. Spying requires that you have or develop a number of practical and risk-averse characteristics. Rainsford shows the strong physical ability, the mental thought process, emotional traits, keen observation and social skills that a person would have to require to fill the role of a spy.

Spies are people who secretly collect and reports information on the activities. When people think of spies, they usually think of people in movies like "Mission Impossible", "007", and many more. The way that people look at spies are from what they see from those movies, the spies being brave, confident, and always wins in the end. In contrast, the reality is that spies "commit acts of espionage and subterfuge which were often lonely, frightening and very dangerous." Spies were used during World War Two to gain information from the enemy and change the balance in favor of the alliance forces. Female spies in specific were found to be valuable for short-range intelligence work and were less suspicious that men. One example of spies helping their side was Odette and Simone. Odette and Simone were two 29-year-old female spies who were decided to get as close as possible to the town of Granges sur Valonne to get information in Germany's plan. In the end, the information they collected was timely and useful to the alliance

A quick definition. Spy - “a person who secretly collects and reports information on the activities, movements, and plans of an enemy or competitor” (Google.com). Example: Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. Their loyalty resided not with their native country, the United States of America, but with a completely foreign nation, the Soviet Union. It was one of the most controversial trials of the 20th century.

The next paragraphs will discuss George Blake espionage case. First of all, George Blake is born with the name George Behar in 1922 in Rotterdam Netherlands (“George,” par. 1). His father was Spanish Jew from the Middle East and his mother was a Dutch (“Interview with George Blake,” par. 1). When World War II began, Blake was stuck in the Holland which was taken by the Germans (Irvine, par. 7).

James Armistead is one of the most famous spy that we have on record. Armistead was a black slave who with permission of his owner joined the continental army. He was found by Military Officer Marquis de Lafayette during the Yorktown campaign. Lafayette had Armistead originally had Armistead transport dispatches an intelligence reports across enemy lines. However, all of that changed in the summer of 1781. Armistead posed as a runaway slave who was loyal to the British. Due to his extraordinary acting skills, he was convincing enough to have General Charles Cornwallis enlist him as a spy for the british side. Armistead agreed and immediately started funneling false information to the British soldiers to guide the Redcoats into the wrong direction,

Written in 1963, John LeCarre’s spy-fiction novel “The Spy Who Came in From the Cold” is shaped by contextual values that reflect a true delineation of Cold War espionage through the exploration of intelligence work between the political ideologies of Eastern and Western Germany. Le Carré uses his own personal experiences of working in British Intelligence and which explains the deep sense of realism this novel portrays. It has been suspected by many that particular events in the novel were actually real and merely a recount of Le Carré’s time in the intelligence service due to the sheer depth in detail but all accusations were denied due to no substantial evidence. Through the characterisation of Protagonist Alec Leamas, Le Carré constructs a realistic anti-heroic spy that contrasts from Ian Fleming’s glamorised James Bond. Leamas is depicted as a middle-aged alcoholic, a casualty of the Cold War who is on the verge of retirement

The naturally printed spy likewise distinguished other potential enlisted people, and in short request, Deutsch figured out how to join four more Cambridge men: Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, Anthony Blunt, and John Cairncross. All were devoted communists and requested no monetary pay for their secret activities administrations. In time, the Soviet methodology of enlisting youthful, repelled individuals from the British first class would yield rich prizes.

This transformation worried the West and they had to make the best out of the bad situation. The Allied intelligence agents worked hard to prevent the Red victory. The Britain employed Lockhart under a cover of diplomat, while Reilly worked on his own with the advantage of knowing the Russian language. Two agents used different paths to follow the same goal: the destruction of the communist rule. Of course, the West sent military missions to secretly pay Russian to gather information, but they were too small to have an impact. These kinds of missions were suspicious for communist, so the West turned to the recruitment of agents. As soon as they were sent to Moscow both agents worked closely together and realized that they could find new friends among those, who did not welcome Bolsheviks. The British reporter Arthur Ransome, a Secret Intelligence Informant, grew sympathetic towards Bolsheviks and eventually fell in love with one. His contribution to the collection of actionable intelligence did not have any influence on the British analysis of soviets. Lockhart is known today as an architect of the entire British conspiracy. He also became the model of the hero of a Hollywood movie called British Agent. He continued his political career and worked in the Prague embassy in 1920 (345). The Missions during the early years of the Russian Revolution inspired him to write a book called
