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.

Some of the topics covered in this book include:

  • Before the Culper Ring
  • The Birth of the Culper Ring
  • Teething Troubles
  • Rearrangement
  • The Culper Ring at Work
  • The View from the Other Side
  • After Arnold
  • Dying Days
  • And a great deal more that you don't want to miss out on!

Excellent ...thought provoking!

Any additional comments?

This book is interesting, to the point and well researched with very little unsubstantiated history without the author clearly making a reference to that fact.

Excellent book

Any additional comments?

This book is entertaining. Amazingly inspiring, informative and insightful. I am troubled with hearing more about our founding fathers and mothers and the Colonial and Revolutionary War era. This book not only answered my interest but was highly impressive!

I loved this book very much. It yet suggests the stage sweet and compares some variations between the opera and history as it happened. Quick and fascinating. I learned a lot.

what passed behind the Revolution War

Any additional comments?

This book certainly shed the lights what passed behind the Revolution War and how George Washington succeeded the battle against the Britons. Amazed that women were involved as spies too!

A great book. Best for an appreciation of the history of intelligence in the US. A good book for an introductory class on intelligence.

Accurate History

Any additional comments?

Very educational. Clear and great. A solid overview of spying during the Revolutionary War. A good starting point for anyone analyzing spying and the increase to the American victory of the Revolutionary War.
