About the event
Spying may be the world’s second oldest profession, even recounted in the Old Testament.
By the time of the Revolution England already had a long tradition of the Great Game, its tentacles spread through the British Isles and deep within the European Continent.
But on this side of the Atlantic with 13 separate and competing colonies?
Enter George Washington – first in war, first in peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen….and America’s first spymaster.
As the new Commander-in-Chief George Washington would have to make it up as he went along, through trial and error, sometimes with disastrous results.
AMC’s TURN told only part of the story. “Cloak and Dagger – The Revolution’s Secret War” will take you beyond the Culper Spy Ring. We’ll see who spied for love, who for greed.
