"George Washington's Secret Six," co-authored by Brian Kilmeade and Don Yeager seeks to give tribute to a group of six spies that were
instrumental in helping George Washington win the Revolutionary War.
In a detailed account of how the six were chosen, the reader is given a history of each of these common spies who were successful working as
a group by working alone and intermingling with the British enemy. Long after the war was won, the Culper Spy ring whose members were Robert Townsend, a Quaker merchant; Austin Roe, a tavern keeper; Caleb Brewster, long shoreman; Abraham Woodhue, Bachelor businessman; James Rovington, coffeehouse and print shop owner and Agent 355, woman of unknown identity remained unrecognized because of the negative nature of their work.
Mr. Kilmeade, who is co-host of "Fox and Friends" is passionate these individuals be known and recognized for their patriotism and risk to personal life.
Watching him interviewed on C-Span, it was as though, Mr. Kilmeade was in the thick of the action and reporting on the spy ring's movements. He wants them to have their just do.
I highly recommend this book for the dangerous and adventurous journey into the right to win America's freedom from the British Monarchy.
