This book is a breathtaking presentation of the civil war from a variety of points of view, north and south, federal and confederate, rich and poor, slaveholder and abolitionist, all centralized about the espionage of a wealthy woman, Elizabeth Van Lew, one of Richmond's well-placed families. As such, the book provides portraits of the many differing people (admittedly most prominent being concerns with slavery) of northern and southern points of view and the two presidents, Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis with their followers.While the plot of "Miss Lizzie's War" is totally engrossing and commands the reader's attention to the conflict and events of something as fierce as the dead and dying on the battlefields of a civil war, it is author Agonito's development of characters that is the soul of this book, including the backstory of the love affair of Miss Lizzie and her northern officer-lover. A half dozen primary characters, both black and white, keep us involved as they face the dangers, failures and sometimes victories of the war. In Ms Agonito's skillful hands, the characters are never simply cardboard black and white templates, but well-developed and growing individuals facing incredible events. Not all of them survive to a happy ending.While the events hold our attention, author Agonito's awesome command of historical detail in the "big picture" of the story down to the smallest grain of sand lets us relive the period and its people. The reader is not told this story, but taken by the hand to visit each scene.As but one such moment, the following passage speaks for hundreds more throughout the book:"At the head of the march, a tall slender young officer, twenty-one-years old, rode a splendid black stallion. His handsome face sported a goatee and his golden blond hair, almost reddish in cast, added to his patrician look. As he rode, a crutch fastened to his saddle bounced with the animal's gallop. Only seven months before, death had narrowly failed to swallow the young man at Gettysburg. But it had taken one of his limbs so that now, surprisingly vigorous, he moved about on a wooden leg."More than historical fiction, "Miss Lizzie's War" by Rosemary Agonito may well be the best book of the decade. Move it up to the top of your "Must Read" list.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.A determined woman spy helps the North win the war.By Hope Irvin MarstonThis is but one of five books I have read recently about Elizabeth Van Law and one of her underlings, Mary Bowser. Bowser is my chief interest and I’m intrigued by the evidence unearthed about her since 2011. Until then details of her life remained elusive, due in part to the multiple aliases she used. Each of the books contributed new-to-me information. Since some are nonfiction and some novels, I still have to find out what is fact and what is not.What sets this book apart from the others is the invention of a fictitious love interest for Van Lew which adds a new dimension to the story and enables the author to include information that happened in places other than Richmond. I knew from the beginning there was no such person as Major Allen Rockwell, but the romance helped me through the pages of battle maneuvers which told me much more about the war than I needed to know.The author of this story is skilled in creating you-are-there scenes peopled with characters you would recognize if you met them. As you read you understand their feelings and their motivations…and you know trouble lies ahead since they are at opposite poles. You also get a close-up of daily living of slaves and freeman, the views of the North and the South, and of the rich and poor and that adds to the story’s appeal.-Hope Irvin Marston, author of ISAAC JOHNSON: FROM SLAVE TO STONECUTTER0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.Terrific Book !!!By Dr. Gregory ScottRosemary Agonito's historical novel, Miss Lizzie's War: The Double Life of Southern Belle Spy Elizabeth Van Lew, is a terrific story of a little known Civil War heroine. Although a member of Richmond's high society, Van Lew was a dedicated abolitionist, worked to comfort Union prisoners, and even aided in escape attempts. But her greatest contribution to the Union war effort was as a spy. Van Lew's spy ring provided crucial intelligence on Confederate troop movements and even infiltrated the home of President Jefferson Davis. Rosemary Agonito's book masterfully captures the incredible danger Van Lew faced as well as her indomitable courage. You can't help but feel you are living in Richmond under siege as you read Miss Lizzie's War. The book is a great story well told.See all 13 customer reviews...
