In 1776\, an elite group of soldiers were handpicked \;to \;serve as George Washington's bodyguards. Washing ton trusted them\; relied on them. But unbeknownst \;to \;Washingt on\, some of them were part of a treasonous plan. In \;the \;month s 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 Washi ngton himself. This is \;the \;story of \;the \;secret&nbs p\;plot \;and how it was revealed. It is a story of leaders\, liars\, counterfeiters\, and jailhouse confessors. It also shows just how hard&nbs p\;the \;battle was for George Washington--and how close America was&n bsp\;to \;losing \;the \;Revolutionary War. Taking place durin g \;the \;most critical period of our nation's birth\, \;The&n bsp\;First \;Conspiracy \;tells a remarkable and previously untold piece of American history that not only reveals George Washington's chara cter\, but also illuminates \;the \;origins of America's counterin telligence movement that led \;to \;the \;modern day CIA. ~Fro m the Publisher.
