When three Yale classmates -- David Bushnell, Nathan Hale, and Benjamin Tallmadge -- leave their world of classical education at Yale College, they embark on a hero's journey by joining the American Revolution in 1776. One fights underwater, another on the battlefield, and the other as a spy for General George Washington. Their lives will never be the same as they battle to save their homes on Connecticut and New York's Long Island from tyranny. The Submarine and the Spies is a timely book for ages 12 and up for America's 250th anniversary. Ideal for middle and high school classrooms, book clubs and personal reading for adults.
