 Amazon.com: Books: Allan Pinkerton : The First Private Eye   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Mackay is perhaps too apologetic in his treatment of Pinkerton's intelligence reports to McClellan, which vastly overstated the number of Confederate troops, and he blames McClellan's lack of initiative on political intrigue from Washington.
James Mackay's Alan Pinkerton: The First Private Eye is a useful biography of both the man and the firm.
Mackay explores and justifies Pinkerton's loyalty to "Little Mac", but argues - convincingly for me - that he did not stray from the Union (In the process Mackay argues that McLellan has been unfairly maligned and was a "great" general; this argument, however, is undeveloped, and perhaps will form another book).

 Paraphrasing
Mackay called any similarities "quite unintentional" and added, "If I've done that, I assure you that it's certainly not something that I would do deliberately." He does cite Morison in several places in the book.
In the interview, Mackay also rejected charges, leveled by another author and by scholars and reported in a series of articles starting last year in Scotland's leading newspaper, The Scotsman, that he had plagiarized material for four of his other books since 1995.
After talking to Mackay in Glasgow and to his Edinburgh publisher, Entrekin said that copies of "I Have Not Yet Begun to Fight," which came off the presses just last week, would not be shipped until further evaluation by a history specialist.

"James Mackay, the award-winning biographer of Robert Burns, is the first historian to attempt to shade in both the darker and lighter sides of Pinkerton, and the result is the tightest and most reliable account so far, a portrait of a man at once deeply admirable and quite obnoxious." --The Times (London).
