Summary:
"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:
George
Washington
himself. This is the story of the
secret
plot
and how it was revealed. It is 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. Taking place during the most critical period of our nation's birth, The First Conspiracy tells a remarkable and previously untold piece of American history that not only reveals
George
Washington
's character, but also illuminates the origins of America's counterintelligence movement that led to the modern day CIA."--From publisher.
