Summary

Some guilty pleasure reading. The fascinating and recently discovered (in some sense) 1776 plot to capture of kill then-general George Washington. Metlzer and Mensch certainly drag the book out and dramatize a bit, but it’s hard to blame them considering the story they were able to uncover. Worth the read if you have a love for early American history.
