Publisher's summary

Explore the captivating history of the Culper Ring!

Spying and warfare have always gone hand-in-hand. From Julius Caesar to modern generals, we have accounts of commanders covertly gathering information about their opponents, ensuring they have the intelligence they need to conduct a war.

George Washington was not late to realize he needed a spy ring to defeat the British in the American Revolution. So, the Culper Ring was created, and their work during the American Revolutionary War was carried out in the shadows, often informally, and with a great deal of care for secrecy. Anyone caught spying was liable to be hanged by the British.

Based in New York during the British occupation, the Culper Ring provided vital intelligence from behind enemy lines. Their work gave Washington an insight into the British forces and their plans. They helped to turn the war in the revolutionaries' favor. And now, their story can be told once more.

i enjoyed the history of the Culper spy ring. Me

I enjoyed the story of the Culper Spy Ring. it sounded like a difficult job.

success guide

A factual recounting of the events and communications of the Culper ring. Pulls together many resources to put the story together, including recently discovered information

Succinct and informative

This book is a great first step if you're trying to learn more about the Culper Ring and the spy network of the Revolution. There isn't much fluff, and it compiles the facts well, while including the failings as well as the successes. My only complaint is that the narrator mispronounces a few words and that can be a little jarring, but it's not enough of a problem to put me off the story itself.

Another absolutely great historical book
