This "fast-paced chronicle reveals a little-known side of America's Revolutionary War hero" -- and how intelligence helped him defeat the British (Publishers Weekly).

Here is the untold story of how George Washington used his skills as a spymaster to win the Revolutionary War. Author John A. Nagy has become the nation's leading expert on the subject, discovering hundreds of spies who went behind enemy lines to gather intelligence during the American Revolution, many of whom are completely unknown to most historians.


Drawing on Washington's personal diaries, Nagy recounts how he honed his intelligence gathering skills during the French and Indian War. He later depended on those skills as he faced a well-trained, better-equipped fighting force in the Revolutionary War. Espionage was Washington's secret weapon, and he exploited it to extraordinary effect.


Filled with thrilling and never-before-told stories from the battlefield and behind enemy lines, this is the story of how Washington out-spied the British. For the first time, readers will discover how espionage played a major part in the American Revolution and why Washington was a master at orchestrating it.
