Specificatii
Karen Abbott, the New York Times bestselling author of Sin in the
Second City and "pioneer of sizzle history" (USA Today), tells the
spellbinding true story of four women who risked everything to
become spies during the Civil War. Karen Abbott illuminates one of
the most fascinating yet little known aspects of the Civil War: the
stories of four courageous women--a socialite, a farmgirl, an
abolitionist, and a widow--who were spies. After shooting a Union
soldier in her front hall with a pocket pistol, Belle Boyd became a
courier and spy for the Confederate army, using her charms to
seduce men on both sides. Emma Edmonds cut off her hair and assumed
the identity of a man to enlist as a Union private, witnessing the
bloodiest battles of the Civil War. The beautiful widow, Rose
O'Neale Greenhow, engaged in affairs with powerful Northern
politicians to gather intelligence for the Confederacy, and used
her young daughter to send information to Southern generals.
Elizabeth Van Lew, a wealthy Richmond abolitionist, hid behind her
proper Southern manners as she orchestrated a far-reaching
espionage ring, right under the noses of suspicious rebel
detectives. Using a wealth of primary source material and
interviews with the spies' descendants, Abbott seamlessly weaves
the adventures of these four heroines throughout the tumultuous
years of the war. With a cast of real-life characters including
Walt Whitman, Nathaniel Hawthorne, General Stonewall Jackson,
detective Allan Pinkerton, Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln, and
Emperor Napoleon III, Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy draws you into
the war as these daring women lived it. Liar, Temptress, Soldier,
Spy contains 39 black & photos and 3 maps.
