This book by Brian Kilmeade and Don Yaeger is an interestig story about six little known names of the American Revolution heroes.

    The authors conducted an extensive* research about events that took place when General Washington had to retreat* from New York City in August 1776. Thanks to the six brave secret agents which called themselves the Culper Spy Ring, he was able to recover.

    Washington correctly judged that he could not adequately respond to strong British army, so he conceived* a plan to form a secret group of people whose task were to sneak* into New York.

    Given that the importance of the operation was huge, and its secrecy* was top priority*, the group members’ identities were hidden for almost 200 years.

    These six brave people were newspaper editor Robert Townsend, bartender Austin Roe who put both his job and life at risk, longshoreman* Caleb Brewster who carried messages between Connecticut and New York, Abraham Woodhull who had perfect family excuse for New York traveling, James Rivington who was responsible for collecting information from British officers in his shop and coffeehouse and a charming woman identified as Agent 355, whose real name still remains unknown.

    Kilmeade and Yaeger did an excellent job both in collecting the information and telling exciting stories of the six who changed the tide of the American Revolution.
