G.J.A.
O'Toole
A prolific writer, having produced numerous books and
magazines articles. O'Toole's book on the assassination of Abraham
Lincoln, "The Cosgrove Report", inspired Bob Diamond to search for the
Atlantic Avenue Tunnel in 1979.
"The author of the Cosgrove Report, the book that sparked Bob Diamond's
interest in the Atlantic Avenue Tunnel back in 1979, was in fact a real
life "Spy Master", and was also the CIA's resident expert on U.S. Civil
War era espionage. After he passed away, Mr. O'Toole's former job title
appeared on the website of his former publisher. His book on Civil War
era espionage is on the CIA's recommended reading list".
