Well documented." -- Kirkus Reviews"Skillfully researched and entertainingly written. . . . A provocative biography." -- Library Journal"Scrupulously researched...Blum successfully delineates the social forces in play at the time and conveys the irresistible magnetism that turned a young woman into a world-class spy." -- Publishers Weekly"A dazzling masterwork of narrative nonfiction that is The Last Goodnight.
