Author to sign books on Gettysburg intelligence Sept. 2

August 19, 2016

Author Tom Ryan will be signing copies of his book "Spies, Scouts and Secrets in the Gettysburg Campaign: How the Critical Role of Intelligence Impacted the Outcome of Lee's Invasion of the North, June-July 1863" from 12 to 2 p.m., Friday, Sept. 2 at Bethany Beach Books.

Despite the thousands of books and articles written about Gettysburg, Ryan's groundbreaking work is the first to offer a unique and incisive comparative study of intelligence operations during what many consider the war's decisive campaign.

Ryan is the former president of the Central Delaware Civil War Round Table, and a longtime member of the Gettysburg Foundation and the Civil War Trust. He has published more than 125 articles and book reviews on Civil War subjects. Ryan served three years in the United States Army and more than three decades with the U.S. Department of Defense in various intelligence operations-related capacities. Now retired, he and his wife live in Bethany Beach.
