The Spy Ring That Saved the American Revolution
Book • 2014
This book tells the story of the Culper Spy Ring, a secretive intelligence network recruited by George Washington during the American Revolution.

The ring, consisting of Robert Townsend, Austin Roe, Caleb Brewster, Abraham Woodhull, James Rivington, and a mysterious woman known as Agent 355, used sophisticated tactics such as cryptography and invisible ink to gather and transmit vital information about British military plans.

The authors, Brian Kilmeade and Don Yaeger, draw on extensive research to highlight the significant contributions of these spies in turning the tide of the war and securing American independence.
