    by Gerri Willis (Author)

    In this gripping Civil War history, Fox Business's Gerri Willis charts the making of a spymaster genius.

    Wealthy Southern belle Elizabeth Van Lew had it all. Money, charm, wit--the most elegant mansion in Richmond.

    So why risk everything to become a Union spy?

    The answer was simple: freedom. Right in the heart of the Confederate capital, Elizabeth played the society lady while building a secret espionage network of slaves, Unionists, and prisoners of war.

    It would cost her almost everything. Flouting society's expectations for women, Elizabeth infiltrated prisons and defied public opinion. Her story is filled with vivid personalities, including:

      Assassin John Wilkes BoothWashington socialite and Southern spy Rose GreenhowPrison escape artist Thomas RoseCavalry hero Ulrich DahlgrenBlack spy Mary Bowser who infiltrated the Confederate White House

    From grave robbery to a bold voyage across enemy lines, Elizabeth's escapades only grew more daring. But it paid off.

    By the war's end, she had agents in both the Confederate War Department and the Richmond White House, and her couriers provided General Ulysses S. Grant with crucial, daily intelligence for his final assault.

    With extensive and fresh research, Gerri Willis uncovers the Southern abolitionist heroine that the Lost Cause buried--an unbelievable tale of one woman's courage, resistance, and liberation. Heartfelt, thrilling, and inspiring, Lincoln's Lady Spymaster restores a forgotten hero to her rightful place as an American icon.
