VINTAGE 2010 Trade Paperback Non Fiction Spy History During The Civil War. Stealing Secrets: How A Few Daring Women Deceived Generals, Impacted Battles, & Altered The Course Of The Civil War" by Henry Winkler TRADE PAPERBACK 2010 Cumberland House/Source Books 1st Edition 5th Printing with numbers 5-10 on copyright page. Exactly as shown in the listing scan(s). Nice Collectible Trade paperback copy.

"During America's most divisive war, both the Union and Confederacy took advantage of brave and courageous women willing to adventurously support their causes. These female spies of the Civil War participated in the world's second-oldest profession―spying―a profession perilous in the extreme. The tales of female spies are filled with suspense, bravery, treachery, and trickery. They took enormous risks and achieved remarkable results―often in ways men could not do. These are the bold, untold stories of women shaping our very nation. Stepping out of line and into battle, these women faced clandestine missions, treason, and death, all because of their passionate commitment to their cause. These are the unknown Civil War stories you need to hear. As stated on the grave marker of Union spy Elizabeth Van Lew, one of the foremost of these brave women: "She risked everything that is dear to man―friends, fortune, comfort, health, life itself."
