freham 's review for:

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

---

These individual stories are captivating. Yet I was frustrated by the format of telling it by what happened each year, rather than telling about each individually. Therefore I read parts of it by skipping around to see what happened with a particular woman. Still, found it fascinating and read the whole book in 24 hours.
