It would be a very silly leader of any sort who would not want to know what the enemy was up to. And, it would be an author/historian much beneath the standards of someone like Jane Singer who would try to foist such history on the public. Needless to say, I am a friend and fan of Ms. Singer, an excellent author/historian.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I just wanted some clarification on Ms. Singer's current book. Others reading this thread might be curious too. I am much more likely to purchase this now based upon her response to me.

Since I am not as familiar with her work as you are, I learned from Amazon that in addition to "The Confederate Dirty War", she had also authored a "novel" entitled "Booth's Sister". There is a fictional civil war period book "Alias Dragonfly by a Jane Singer published by the same company as "Booth's Sister. There is also another civil war era book titled "Two Bullets For Sergeant Franks" that is "based upon civil war fact and local legend" by a Sara Jane Singer.

so I wanted some clarification about this book, Lincoln's Secret Spy.
Thank you again Ms. Singer for clarifying your book is non-fiction.
