George Washington, Spymaster: How the Americans Outspied the British and Won the Revolutionary War

Ok, the title is lengthy, but it's a great book. Even if you aren't American and probably don't care, it's cool for what it is. If you enjoy codes, ciphers, espionage- that kind of thing (like moi) it's also really good for that.

I've snuck this into my language arts class...we're supposed to be reading biographies, but...I guess it could be classified as one, right?

Is it a fiction based on fact, or nonfiction?

I love history, so either way, it sounds interesting.

Unless it's not very well written, like the Da Vinci Code.
"And I am a writer
writer of fiction
I am the heart that you call home
And I've written pages upon pages
Trying to rid you from my bones...
Let me go if you don't love me" ~The Decembrists "Engine Driver"

I haven't read this, but it sounds interesting! I do love history :)
And I love codes and ciphers and espoinage, it sounds exciting!
Yes, it could be classified as a biography ... A biography of American history ...
The POTATO of DOOM

A thousand times it calls your name
A thousand times you hear it
And fools are those who heed its call
But fools are those who fear it.
