Two words using the root -gest- are gesture and digestion. The original meaning of the root as inherited from Lating was "carry" or "perform". In modern English, however, the word has a separate meaning of "a tale of adventures" or "a romance in verse" (according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary).

The mood of the poem is sad and dark, describing where the bones of someone's father are laying (at the bottom of the ocean.). Alliteration helps convey this mood because the repetition of sounds, especially the 'f' and 's' sounds, make a sound that resembles the rush of waves or the sound you hear if you're underwater.
The first example is in the first line, the 'f' sound is repeated in "Full Fathom Five thy Father lies". Then, for a second example, in lines 4-7, the 's' sound is repeated in "Suffer a Sea-change / Into Something rich and Strange. / Sea-nymphS". Again, those two sounds represent the sound and feeling of being underwater where the body is resting.
This book contains a wide collection of stories regarding spies and agents that have worked both for and against their country. The content here spans from the formation of the United States in the Colonial Era to the more modern day spy stories. Even double agents (and sometimes triple agents) are discussed, in addition to the straight-up stories of spies and what they did. In one of the chapters, the author explains Benedict Arnold's story. He agreed to spy for the British because he felt wronged in his career by the Americans, as he thought he wasn't getting paid as much as he deserved. Arnold spied by pretending to still be on Washington's side and then capturing his "own" fort. There was also Elizabeth Van Lew, who spied for the Union by acting as a nurse in the prisoner camp. She would then get info from gossiping spies. Rose Greenhow also spied for the Confederates by sewing messages into the cuffs of dresses she made. The main purpose of writing this novel was to inform readers of how our government obtained information in the past, and how it still does today. Throughout the book, the author explains events throughout history that involved spying. This is because he wants to make the readers think about how spying was such a big part of our success as a nation.
