4.0

Solid 3.5.

Seeing the civil war through the eyes of four women, two Union, two Confederate, the book gives a rare glimpse of four women who chose not to simply sit tat home and wait for the soldiers to return.Their spying and influence had quite an impact on some pretty important battles.

Only complaint is a touch too much emphasis of the words of the women themselves. Two of the four wrote books for profit after the war, their tendency to exaggerate is not subtle.

But you do get a sense for what these women accomplished for their respective side during the war.
