George Washington Spymaster by Thomas B. Allen

This is an example of what the book review should look like.


George Washington, Spymaster – How the Americans Outspied the British and Won the Revolutionary War by Thomas B. Allen

I like to read books about George Washington and this one was enjoyable because it focused on his use of spies in the American Revolution. Many people don’t realize how crafty Washington was in obtaining information about the British through spies. The book mentions the most famous spy of the American Revolution – Benedict Arnold – and what Washington does when he discovers that Arnold is spying for the British. I would recommend this book because it is a quick read – not too long. It also has some neat extra features – a hidden code is included on the pages and at the back of the book you can learn how to break the code.

On a scale of 1 (worst) to 10 (best) I give this book a rating of : 8

This book is available from the Anoka County Library.
