Signet, 2000, 456 pages
With "On Secret Service" John Jakes revisits the American civil war from the perspective of agents of the Secret Service, some historical, some fictional. As with his famous North & South Trilogy, Jakes features two romantic couples with divided political agendas agendas while interweaving real personages and events of the period. A Jakes novel is always a guaranteed good read, but I especially enjoyed this one because it involved women on the battlefield, and imprisoned women spies, rare occurences in historical fiction.
