"I regret that I have but one life to give for my country." These are the famous last words of Nathan Hale, a spy for the American rebels in the Revolutionary War. But who was this Nathan Hale? And how did the rebels defeat an army that was bigger, stronger, and more heavily armed than they were?

One Dead Spy has answers to these questions, as well as stories of ingenuity, close calls with danger, and acts of heroism in the American War of Independence.

Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales take young readers into American history with graphic novels that bring the dangerous, bloody, exciting history of America to life.
