Washington's Spies
Author: Alexander Rose
Publisher: Bantam
ISBN: 055339259X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Turn: Washington’s Spies, now an original series on AMC Based on remarkable new research, acclaimed historian Alexander Rose brings to life the true story of the spy ring that helped America win the Revolutionary War. For the first time, Rose takes us beyond the battlefront and deep into the shadowy underworld of double agents and triple crosses, covert operations and code breaking, and unmasks the courageous, flawed men who inhabited this wilderness of mirrors—including the spymaster at the heart of it all. In the summer of 1778, with the war poised to turn in his favor, General George Washington desperately needed to know where the British would strike next. To that end, he unleashed his secret weapon: an unlikely ring of spies in New York charged with discovering the enemy’s battle plans and military strategy. Washington’s small band included a young Quaker torn between political principle and family loyalty, a swashbuckling sailor addicted to the perils of espionage, a hard-drinking barkeep, a Yale-educated cavalryman and friend of the doomed Nathan Hale, and a peaceful, sickly farmer who begged Washington to let him retire but who always came through in the end. Personally guiding these imperfect everyday heroes was Washington himself. In an era when officers were gentlemen, and gentlemen didn’ t spy, he possessed an extraordinary talent for deception—and proved an adept spymaster. The men he mentored were dubbed the Culper Ring. The British secret service tried to hunt them down, but they escaped by the closest of shaves thanks to their ciphers, dead drops, and invisible ink. Rose’s thrilling narrative tells the unknown story of the Revolution–the murderous intelligence war, gunrunning and kidnapping, defectors and executioners—that has never appeared in the history books. But Washington’s Spies is also a spirited, touching account of friendship and trust, fear and betrayal, amid the dark and silent world of the spy.

Author:
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780976920311
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
A 420 page chronicle of the compilers' first six generations of Dayton ancestors in America. The compilation begins in 1617 with Ralph in Ashford, Kent and follows him to America, descending through Samuel, Abraham, Henry, David and David, spanning the years 1639 to 1807.The compilers sought primary reference and consultation, and in the effort to gather fragments of Dayton history, the work accumulated nearly 500 citations and 14 pages of works cited. The book is fully indexed and contains almost fifty images of original documents, autographs, illustrations, maps and photographs. Contextual or background information is also provided, particularly in the first few chapters, to aid understanding.The compilers' motivation for publishing many years of research is to provide family and researchers a collection of material with which to begin their own discovery. With the advantage of modern availability to information, early scholarship and family legends are confronted in the effort to expose real people. In doing so, differing interpretations are offered so the reader can draw their own conclusions and advance the dialog.
