AMAC Book Club Announces July Book of the Month: Washington’s Spies: The Story of America’s First Spy Ring
The AMAC Book Club highlights Washington’s Spies by Alexander Rose as July’s pick—a gripping tale of America's first spy ring and the hidden heroes of the Revolution.
BOHEMIA, NY — — The AMAC Book Club is proud to announce its July Book of the Month selection, Washington’s Spies: The Story of America’s First Spy Ring by Alexander Rose. This riveting historical narrative, which inspired the AMC television series TURN: Washington’s Spies, brings to life the clandestine world of the Culper Ring—America’s first organized spy network during the Revolutionary War.
As part of the AMAC Book Club’s ongoing mission to engage readers with books that enrich understanding of American history, patriotism, and civic duty, Washington’s Spies offers a compelling glimpse into the lives of ordinary men and women who risked everything to help George Washington outmaneuver the British.
“With so much of our nation’s founding rooted in bravery, strategy, and sacrifice, Rose’s meticulously researched account reminds us that freedom is often fought for in the shadows,” said Rebecca Weber, AMAC’s CEO. “This book is an essential read for anyone who wants to better understand the hidden heroes of our Revolution.”
Through a gripping blend of biography, espionage, and historical analysis, Washington’s Spies reveals how the Culper Ring helped shape the outcome of the war—and ultimately, the future of the United States. Readers will encounter figures such as Abraham Woodhull, Benjamin Tallmadge, and Anna Strong, whose covert efforts provided crucial intelligence to General Washington.
