George Washington's Secret Six: The Spy Ring That Saved the American Revolution

*Now with a new afterword containing never-before-seen research on the identity of the spy ringâ€™s most secret member, Agent 355

â€œThis is my kind of history book. Get ready. Hereâ€™s the action.â€ â€”BRAD MELTZER, bestselling author ofÂ The Fifth AssassinÂ and host ofÂ Decoded

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 ralliedâ€”thanks in large part to a little-known, top-secret group called the Culper Spy Ring. He realized that he couldnâ€™t 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.
