The Culper Spy Ring tells the story of the intelligence network created to provide George Washington with information from British-occupied New York. It follows Benjamin Tallmadge, Abraham Woodhull, Robert Townsend and their associates as they used couriers, coded messages, invisible ink and carefully constructed cover identities.

The account explains the practical limits and dangers of eighteenth-century espionage rather than treating the ring as an all-seeing secret service. It also shows how reliable intelligence supported Continental strategy during a war in which New York remained a crucial British base.
