Gone Over is the story of the American Revolution seen through
the reverse lens of British Intelligence--a view never quite seen
before. Israel Potter is the best known private soldier of the
Revolution, and his story takes the reader through the maelstrom of
the war. From a beginning in captivity, Potter's life touches every
major figure of this secret war, starting with the underground Friends
of America in England and continuing through Benjamin Franklin's
mission in Paris until it finally returns to the home front and the
defection of Benedict Arnold.
