The fascinating true story of the plot by Confederate terrorists to burn down New York City on November 25, 1864.
Despite extensive coverage in the press and the terrifying parallels to the September 11th attacks, the incident has been largely forgotten. By retelling this captivating tale, this book will introduce readers to a little-known chapter of Civil War history and will expose how the increasingly desperate Confederate government turned to terrorism as a strategy during the final months of the conflict.
Furman Daniel weaves together the details of this complex Civil War-era spy thriller from the development of the initial plot, an international investigation after the incident, and the trial and execution of a key Confederate plotter. The result is a thrilling true crime adventure set in the streets of New York City.
