A succinct history of the American Revolution that focuses on how spies were instrumental to both sides of the conflict, and brief bios of some of those spies and what they did during the war.
I've read a lot of books about spies during WWI and WWII, but I think the only ones I've read about real spies from the American Revolution would be the Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales on the topic and a bio about Pinkerton. This was interesting, easy to read, and just the right length for middle grade readers. A lot of American Revolution history books can be dry, but this was definitely not.
Notes on content:
Language: None
Sexual content: None
Violence: Injuries in the war, deaths in the war, and hanging of spies are mentioned but not described in any detail.
Ethnic diversity: The book highlights both men and women, American and British, white and Black.
LGBTQ+ content: None specified
Other: Deception is involved in a lot of spy work.
