Washington’s Spies: The Story of America's First Spy Ring by Alexander Rose
Join us to explore the shadowy world of Revolutionary War era espionage! In this engaging work of narrative history, Alexander Rose uncovers the remarkable story of the Culper Spy Ring, a secret intelligence network that operated across Long Island, New York City, and Connecticut, providing General George Washington with critical information that helped shape the course of the war. We’ll examine Long Island's unique Revolutionary past and consider how the region's geography and communities (including local whalers!) played a pivotal role in one of the nation's earliest—and most successful—spy networks.
