About the Book

Sylvanus G. Morley was the most influential Mayan archaeologist of his generation and perhaps the greatest American spy of WWI. Harris and Sadler document for the first time Morley's dual career as a scholar and a spy. Working for the Office of Naval Intelligence, he proved an invaluable source of information about German and anti-American activity in Mexico and Central America.

About the Author :
Charles H. Harris III and Louis R. Sadler are emeritus history professors at New Mexico State University, Las Cruces. They also collaborated on The Texas Rangers and the Mexican Revolution: The Bloodiest Decade, 1910-1920 and The Secret War in El Paso: Mexican Revolutionary Intrigue, 1906-1920, both published by UNM Press. The Texas Rangers and the Mexican Revolution won the Western Writers of America Spur Award for Best Contemporary Historical Nonfiction and the T. R. Fehrenbach Award from the Texas Historical Commission.

Review :
[The Archaeologist was a Spy], which is quite difficult to put down once opened, chronicles and assesses not only [Sylvanus] Morley's contributions to archaeology and intelligence, but also the organization, methods, and ventures of ONI clandestine operations in World War I. It makes a significant contribution to the study of American intelligence operations. - Military Heritage ""[Charles Harris and Ray Sadler] have written the most significant book available on U.S. intelligence during World War I in Latin America. For historians of intelligence agencies, this is a must read volume."" - William H. Beezley, professor of history, University of Arizona, and director of the Oaxaca (Mexico) Graduate Field School in Modern Mexican History ""In this remarkable story of a remarkable man and his colorful associates, Harris and Sadler bring to vivid life an unknown story of early American intelligence. They illuminate the start of today's vast spy apparatus."" - David Kahn, author of Hitler's Spies and The Codebreakers
