George Washington's Secret Six: The Spy Ring That Saved America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 354min

From the cohost of Fox & Friends, the true story of the anonymous spies who helped win the Revolutionary War. Among the pantheon of heroes of the American Revolution, six names are missing. First and foremost, Robert Townsend, an unassuming and respected businessman from Long Island, who spearheaded the spy ring that covertly brought down the British…before they, or anyone else, could discover their names. Brian Kilmeade and Don Yaeger finally give Townsend and his fellow spies their proper due, telling the fascinating story of how they passed information to George Washington that turned the tide of the war. Using a network of citizen operatives that included a longshoreman, bartender, newspaper editor, housewife, tailor, and femme fatale, and employing a series of complex codes, the so-called Culper Spy Ring used sophisticated tactics to subvert the British. Based on previously unpublished research, George Washington's Secret Six is a gripping history of these amazing, anonymous Patriots who risked their lives for our freedom. ungekürzt.

Agent 355, Hörbuch, Digital, 127min

From Marie Benedict, best-selling author of The Only Woman in the Room and Lady Clementine, comes a captivating work of historical fiction about a young female spy who may have changed the course of American history. The tide is turning against the colonists in the Revolutionary War, and 18-year-old Elizabeth Morris cannot sit by idly. Quietly disdainful of her Tory parents, who drag her along to society events and welcome a British soldier into their home during their occupation of New York City, Elizabeth decides to take matters into her own hands. She realizes that, as a young woman, no one around her believes that she can comprehend the profound implications of being a nation at war - she is, effectively, invisible. And she can use this invisibility to her advantage. Her unique access to British society leads her to a role with General George Washington's own network of spies: the Culper Ring. Based on true events, Agent 355 combines adventure, romance, and espionage to bring to life this little-known story of a hero who risked her life to fight for freedom against all odds.

The Culper Ring: The History and Legacy of the Revolutionary War's Most Famous Spy Ring , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 77min

After the siege of Boston forced the British to evacuate that city in March 1776, Continental Army commander George Washington suspected that the British would move by sea to New York City, the next logical target in an attempt to end a colonial insurrection. He thus rushed his army south to defend the city. Washington guessed correctly, but it would be to no avail. Unlike Boston, New York City's terrain featured few defensible positions. The city lacked a high point from which to launch a siege, as the peninsula of Boston was fortunate to have. Moreover, Washington wasn't sure defending the city was necessary, hoping that an expedition launched toward Quebec like the one Benedict Arnold had led in late 1775 would keep the British away from New York anyway. However, Congress thought otherwise, and demanded that Washington defend New York. Washington thus did what he was told, and it nearly resulted in the army's demise. ungekürzt. Language: English.

TURN - Washington's Spies - Die komplette Serie Gesamtedition

Alle 4 Staffeln der spannenden und actionreichen aMC Serie in einer Edition mit über 18 Stunden Laufzeit.Die TV-Serie ist ja zurzeit die angesagteste Erzählform überhaupt. Was früher der 800 Seiten Roman von Dostojewski oder Tolstoi, bietet nun eben die Serie. Man hat endlich wieder Zeit, den Charakteren und der Story mehr als 90 Minuten zu gönnen. Und das merkt man auch der US-amerikanischen Produktion Turn: Washington Spies" aus dem bekannten Hause aMC an, das unter anderem Klassiker der modernen Serien-Kultur wie etwa "Breaking Bad", "Mad Men" oder "The Walking Dead" ausgestrahlt hat. Das Ergebnis hier: Eine fesselnde, actiongeladene Historien-Serie um die Geheimdienstspionage und Patrioten des amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieges.Und so versetzt uns "Turn", eine Adaption des Romans "Washington's Spies: The Story of America's First Spy Ring" von Alexander Rose, in den Sommer des Jahres 1778. Genauer gesagt also zwei Jahre nach Ausbruch des amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieges der 13 Kolonien gegen die britische Kolonialmacht. Die bis dato bekannte Welt befindet sich im Wandel. Im Mittelpunkt der Serie steht der bescheidene Familienvater und Farmer Abe Woodhull (Jamie Bell, "Billy Elliot", "King Kong") aus Long Island, der diese Aufbruchstimmung voller Enthusiasmus erlebt. Mit einigen Freunden aus Kindheitstagen gründet er daher die kühne Spionageorganisation "Culper Ring", eine Einheit aus ungleichen, aber leidenschaftlichen Patrioten, die mehr oder weniger offiziell um die nationale Unabhängigkeit der Kolonien kämpft. Abe und seine Verbündeten versuchen auf ihren Wegen die amerikanische Geschichtsschreibung zu beeinflussen. Dabei lernen sie schnell, dass jede Handlung gigantische Folgen hat und so riskieren sie mehr als einmal ihr Leben und ihre Ehre für George Washington und ihr Vaterland.Definitiv nicht nur für Historienfans geeignet, denn Spionage bzw. die Frage nach Vertrauen, Loyalität und Sicherheit ist auch heutzutage brandaktuell! Und wie man hier sehen kann, auch schon vor über 200 Jahren in vollem Einsatz!
