520    Unlikely Allies is the story of three remarkable 
       historical figures. Silas Deane was a Connecticut merchant
       and delegate to the Continental Congress as the American 
       colonies struggled to break with England. Caron de 
       Beaumarchais was a successful playwright who wrote The 
       Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro. And the 
       flamboyant and mysterious Chevalier d'Eon-officer, 
       diplomat, and sometime spy-was the talk of London and 
       Paris. Is the Chevalier a man or a woman?When Deane is 
       sent to France to convince the French government to 
       support the revolutionary cause, he enlists the help of 
       Beaumarchais. Together, they successfully smuggle weapons,
       ammunition, and supplies to New England just in time for 
       the crucial Battle of Saratoga, which turned the tide of 
       the American Revolution. And the catalyst for Louis XVI's 
       support of the Americans against England was the Chevalier
       d'Eon, whose decision to declare herself a woman helped to
       lead to the Franco-American alliance. These three people 
       spin a fascinating web of political intrigue and 
       international politics that stretches across oceans as 
       they ricochet from Versailles to Georgian London to the 
       Pennsylvania State House (now Independence Hall) in 
       Philadelphia. Each man has his own reasons for wanting to 
       see America triumph over the British, and each contends 
       daily with the certainty that no one is what they seem. 
       The line between friends and enemies is blurred, spies 
       lurk in every corner, and the only way to survive is to 
       trust no one.An edge-of-your-seat story full of 
       fascinating characters and lavish with period detail and 
       sense of place, Unlikely Allies is Revolutionary history 
       in all of its juicy, lurid glory.
