Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy: Four Women Undercover in the Civil War

byAbbot Kahler

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. Using biographical detail, personal testimony, and historical context, Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy within biography & autobiography and history, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment.
