Description
"In 1776, an elite group of soldiers were handpicked to serve as George Washington's bodyguards. Washington trusted them; relied on them. But unbeknownst to Washington, some of them were part of a treasonous plan. In the months leading up to the Revolutionary War, these traitorous soldiers, along with the Governor of New York, William Tryon, and Mayor David Mathews, launched a deadly plot against the most important member of the military: Washington himself. This is the story of the secret plot and how it was revealed a story of leaders, liars, counterfeiters, and jailhouse confessors. It also shows just how hard the battle was for George Washington -- and how close America was to losing the Revolutionary War. " --,Provided by publisher.
