"Meticulously, and in fascinating detail, Emily Lapisardi has annotated the memoir of one of the most controversial figures of the Civil War. Rose Greenhow—Confederate spy, provocateur, consummate name-dropper and social climber—lived a brief but tumultuous life, and Lapisardi puts it into thorough and proper context. "
