About this book
When George Washington beat a hasty retreat from New York City in August 1776 many thought the American Revolution might soon be over. Instead Washington ralliedthanks in large part to a little-known top-secret group called the Culper Spy Ring. He realized that he couldnt defeat the British with military might so he recruited a sophisticated and deeply secretive intelligence network to infiltrate New York. Drawing on extensive research Brian Kilmeade and Don Yaeger have offered fascinating portraits of these spies: a reserved Quaker merchant a tavern keeper a brash young longshoreman a curmudgeonly Long Island bachelor a coffeehouse owner and a mysterious woman. Long unrecognized the secret six are finally receiving their due among the pantheon of American heroes.
