Excellent review of Espionage during the Revolutionary War

Formerly out of print, this softbound book provides a comprehensive overview of intelligence operations during the Revolutionary War. Covering the more common stories about the attempted kidnapping of Washington and the Arnold/Andre affair, it also depicts intelligence conducted before various battles, intelligence failures & successes, and France's intelligence collection prior to their involvement in the War. Worth buying.
