520    "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"--|cProvided by
