Posted on 02 November 2018 by Brad Meltzer

In 1776, an elite group of soldiers were handpicked to serve as George Washington s bodyguards Washington trusted them relied on them But unbeknownst to Washington, some of them were part of a treasonous plan In the months 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 Washington himself.This is the story of the secret plot and how it was revealed It is a story of leaders, liars, counterfeiters, and jailhouse confessors It also shows just how hard the battle was for George Washington and how close America was to losing the Revolutionary War.Taking place during the most critical period of our nation s birth, The First Conspiracy tells a remarkable and previously untold piece of American history that not only reveals George Washington s character, but also illuminates the origins of America s counterintelligence movement that led to the modern day CIA.
