Alexander Hamilton: Spymaster

To win a war against the most powerful military in the world, General George Washington employed a vast network of spies to gather intelligence and deceive the enemy with misinformation. As Washington’s “principal and most confident aid,” Alexander Hamilton provided indispensable assistance in developing and managing his secret service. Newton will describe how Hamilton received intelligence from his own informants and from Washington’s spies, distributed these reports to the relevant military officers and political officials, and leaked misinformation to the enemy, all activities that covertly helped the United States win the American Revolution.
