When the Continental Army beat a hasty retreat from New York

in August 1776, many thought the Revolution was doomed. Instead, General Washington

rallied, thanks in large part to a little-known, top-secret group called the

Culper Spy Ring. This surprisingly sophisticated team spied on the British

leaders while also spreading misinformation about Washington’s plans. Their

spycraft was centuries ahead of its time.





Drawing on extensive research, Brian Kilmeade and Don Yaeger

have written a fascinating book about the six civilians who turned the tide of

the war, among them a Quaker merchant, a tavern keeper, a brash young

longshoreman, the owner of a posh coffeehouse, and a woman who used her wit and

charm to coax British officers to share vital secrets. This gripping true story

finally elevates the secret six to their rightful place among the pantheon of

American heroes.
