They say that history is written by the victors and the story of Nathan Hale and Moses Dunbar is proof. It's also interesting that, over time, society can rehabilitate just about anyone's reputation...or at least try to.

Loved the look into a hidden story and the juxtaposition of the two men and their fates. The four stars is because it was a bit slow in the beginning, short on followup, which with the state of records kept at the time isn't the author's fault, and being history, it's not a book for everyone.

Totally unimportant to the review, but it's so interesting that we glorify spies and spy fiction now (think Bond, James Bond), but during the revolution, spying was seen as ungentlemanly and dishonorable. My how times change.
