Rebel is the first complete biography of Col. John S. Mosby, one of the Confederacy's best-known practitioners of guerrilla warfare. The book not only covers his early life and wartime exploits, but also delves into his postwar life, breaking new ground in the process. Mosby, one-time nemesis of the U.S. government, not only became a staunch Republican and the friend of Republican presidents, but also went on to serve in crusading positions as U.S. consul in Hong Kong, as a Land Office special agent in Nebraska and Alabama, and as an attorney in the U.S. Department of Justice. A fighter for much of his long life, he was nonetheless thoroughly revolted by the carnage being perpetrated in Europe as he approached his death in 1916.

About the Author
Kevin H. Siepel, most recently the author of the two-volume Conquistador Voices, writes on personal, historical, and environmental themes. His benchmark biography of Confederate cavalry officer John S. Mosby has proven durable, as has his biography of western New York state pioneer Joseph Bennett, which also broke new ground. Conquistador Voices takes a fresh look at the Spanish Conquest of the Americas, making heavy use of the conquistadors' own recollections to tell the tale. Siepel's essays and articles have appeared in the Christian Science Monitor, Foreign Service Journal, Civil War, Wild West, two Chicken Soup for the Soul volumes, and elsewhere. One of his Monitor essays was translated into several languages and published worldwide by Readers Digest. Mr. Siepel lives in western New York state.
Foreword writer Eugene McCarthy (1916-2005) represented Minnesota in both House and Senate and played a key role in the presidential race of 1968.
