Covert intelligence played a critical role in the American Revolution. Connecticut produced an extraordinary number of spies on both sides of the conflict; from the infamous traitor and Norwich-born Benedict Arnold to Patriot Nathan Hale; executed by the British for espionage. Spying during the Revolution entailed coded messages; early submarines with the first exploding torpedoes and the penalty of death for those caught in the act. Despite the risk; some spies even played both sides as double agents; such as Edward Bancroft; who was never caught. With stories of Silas Deane; Ethan Allen; Thomas Knowlton; the Culper Spy Ring and others; author Mark Allen Baker navigates the intrigues; dangers and double crosses of Connecticut's most legendary Revolutionary spies.
