This book consists of seven stand-alone accounts of individuals who
operated as spies during the American Revolutionary War. They were
not trained as covert agents, which meant they had to develop their
skills and techniques on their own, often while in the midst of the
enemy where discovery meant almost certain death for them, and
suffering and hardship for their family and friends. Five of them
spied for the American cause and two spied for the British. Not all
were motivated by patriotism, and not all escaped capture, yet
their often painfully gained experience benefited future operatives
and operations. They all were daring, intelligent and resourceful,
and each had an unusual personality. Their labours resulted in
battlefield victories, thwarted enemy plots, and significantly
changed the conduct of the war, yet in spite of their efforts and
their riveting stories, they and their deeds have remained
relatively unknown.
