This is the true story of the anonymous spies who helped win the Revolutionary War. Brian Kilmeade and Don Yaeger finally give Townsend and his fellow spies their proper due, telling the fascinating story of how they passed information to George Washington that turned the tide of the war. Using a network of citizen operatives that included a longshoreman, bartender, newspaper editor, housewife, tailor, and femme fatale, and employing a series of complex codes, the so-called Culper Spy Ring used sophisticated tactics to subvert the British. Based on previously unpublished research, George Washington's Secret Six is a gripping history of these amazing, anonymous Patriots who risked their lives for our freedom. This is a most interesting book with a good history lesson. If you love history, you will love the stories contained in this book.

Historically correct account of the spy ring that George Washington formed to help with the fight for independence from England.
I hated to put it down, it was that interesting.
Brian and Don (the authors) did a wonderful job of gathering the facts and laying them out in a logical manner that afforded me the ability to be informed and entertained at the same time.
Sometimes the factual information was a little overwhelming, but the plots and twists kept your attention and made me want to read more about these six spies.
Loved the book.
