Lincoln's Spies

[Steve]

Wow. That was less than a day before going behind the paywall.

I don't have a WSJ account but from what I recall of the review, Holzer liked the book. The review goes into the biographies of at least 3 spies - Pinkerton, Baker, and a Southern Unionist woman (I think Van Lew, but I can't remember for sure.)

Holzer did have a minor criticism in that he thinks Waller is incorrect in stating that Pinkerton and Lincoln had met each other prior to Lincoln being elected.
