Hello all: my mother in St. Louis asks for just one thing for Christmas this year, and this a book on Elizabeth Van Lew, the famous Richmond "Crazy Bet" Union spy in the Civil War. I see several books available about her. I am asking this learned group's opinion on the BEST book about her, and perhaps spying general in Richmond during the war. 

She will more interested in historical fact over non-fiction, romanticized accounts.  Can you please help me choose the right book?
