"This absolutely fascinating book brings to light an enthralling, deliberately hidden episode in American history, chronicling the machinations leading to war and the remarkable character of Washington himself. This is American history at its finest, a gripping story of spies, killers, counterfeiters, traitors--and a mysterious prostitute who may or may not have even existed. Anyone with an interest in American history will love this book." --Douglas Preston, #1 bestselling author of The Lost City of the Monkey God
"You need to read this book--the patriotic and daring untold story about George Washington and the real-life traitors who secretly tried to take him out. Just wait until you see how General Washington punishes those who cross him. Here's why Brad Meltzer is America's historian. Americans need to hear this incredible story." --Brian Kilmeade, cohost of Fox & Friends and New York Times bestselling author of Andrew Jackson and the Miracle of New Orleans, George Washington's Secret Six, and Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pilots
"History and mystery combine in this taut true-life thriller. Meltzer and Mensch write a page-turner with rich characters and compelling details that just so happens to be part of the real story about George Washington and a conspiracy against him. A joy to read!" --Jake Tapper, CNN Anchor and bestselling author of The Hellfire Club
"The First Conspiracy is a true mystery story that very few Americans know, written with a voice that beckons to be heard." --Joseph J. Ellis, author of the forthcoming American Dialogue: The Founding Fathers and Us
"If you thought you knew everything about the American Revolution, here's dispositive proof that you've been wrong. Brad Meltzer and Josh Mensch have given us a powerful account of a conspiracy to assassinate George Washington on the eve of all-out war--a fascinating tale of spies and intrigue, of near-misses, and what-ifs. Read it!" --Jon Meacham, author The Soul of America: The Battle for our Better Angels, Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power, and American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House
"This story of skullduggery, bribery, espionage, and treason sheds new light on the beginnings of the American Revolution. It also highlights the importance of intelligence and counterintelligence in waging war, as the Patriots exposed and forestalled the plot and caused Washington to create his own highly successful intelligence service." --James M. McPherson, author of The War That Forged a Nation and Pulitzer Prize-winner Battle Cry of Freedom
