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

As a Long Islander endlessly fascinated by events that happened in a place I call home, I hope with this book to give the secret six the credit they didnt get in life. The Culper spies represent all the patriotic Americans who give so much for their country but, because of the nature of their work, will not or cannot take a bow or even talk about their missions.—Brian KilmeadeWhen General George Washington beat a hasty retreat from New York City in August 1776, many thought the American Revolution might soon be over. Instead, Washington rallied—thanks in large part to a little-known, top-secret group called the Culper Spy Ring.Washington realized that he couldnt beat the British with military might, so he recruited a sophisticated and deeply secretive intelligence network to infiltrate New York.
