Behind Rebel Lines: The Incredible Story of Emma Edmonds, Civil War Spy [English Writing]

『Behind Rebel Lines』
Seymour Reit(author of children's books)
Graphia(2001)


  I finished reading "Behind Rebel Lines" by Seymour Reit.
  This is the story about the girl who joins the North army as a man. She disguised herself as a man, and she worked as a nurse, then she disguised herself as a black man, went into the South.
  She can disguise herself as different kinds of people, such as a white soldier, a black man or a white lady. She went to the South eleven times, but it never came out that she was a North spy.
  This story was more exciting when she came back to the North than when she went to the South. There were no regular escape way, so she always looked for the chance with a ready wit and went back to the North.
  This is a very interesting book, so I read it with excitement.

これはもう本当に面白い本。文章も平易で本も薄い。変装の達人というべき女性がさまざまな変装で敵地に潜入して帰ってくる。しかも味方まで騙しているところが凄い。
