Organizing his material by theme (con artists, the press, military trickery, scientific fraud, imposters, great escapes, and more), Michael...

Recruiting in those years required more than patriotism and the lure of glory: it relied on bribery, alcohol, and the whole armory of deceit. Farquhar's play makes connections explicit, further...
