Omschrijving

Take a journey into the intrigue and excitement of the American Revolution. During the dark days of the Revolutionary War, America struggles for nationhood. Meanwhile, in the shadows, a spy is trading secrets of vital importance to the cause - but for whose side? The tale's characters include George Washington (the first U.S. spymaster) as well as Major John Andre (a British officer hanged as a spy after collaborating with the infamous Benedict Arnold). So popular was this book that Cooper published multiple editions with changes and footnotes as The Spy met with worldwide acclaim. It was also translated in multiple languages. This edition has been enhanced with 30+ historical paintings, maps and illustrations from the Revolutionary War era and from the 1800s (including Major Andre's sketch of himself shortly before his execution for spying). Other features of our edition include added chapter titles, endnotes, interesting historical details about major military leaders and spies in the War for Independence, and source descriptions for Cooper's literary quotations at the start of each chapter. Also included is a new introduction, author biography and afterward about Cooper which provide historical context for this important book as a work of spy fiction and American literature.
