The Intelligence War From Belmont to Appomattox:William B. Freis, University of Nebraska Press 2002.
Although the author presents significant information about intelligence operations organized by Grenville Dodge and George H. Sharpe, and others, my impression is there was much more effort extended that is not researchable. There was an operative named Isaac Silver working in Virginia, which is indication there were other Jewish agents whose names were never recorded or disclosed.
In particular Dodge was able to conceal his sources from the bosses in Washington, D.C. and Grant backed him up in this nondisclosure.
Many things that seem cruel and inexplicable were done for reasons that were never disclosed to protect the individuals and the Jewish-Americans as a class.
It is a good book and a quick read, if you can find it.
