Carl Van Doren, Mutiny in January, 1st Ed.

Description

Carl Van Doren’s Mutiny in January tells the story of a crisis in the Continental Army. Van Doren uses many hitherto unknown or neglected sources both American and British.

In the middle of World War II, Carl Van Doren introduced Americans to a critical moment for the survival of George Washington’s Army and the Revolution – the mutiny of several hundred members of the Pennsylvania Line. The book includes previously unpublished letters from Anthony Ways, letters from Washington’s secret service chief, and letters from a previously unrevealed British spy. Van Doren’s research involved breaking codes and chasing down resources.

An exciting tale of spies and mutineers at a crucial moment in history.
