The Trial and Execution of the Traitor George Washington Audiobook (Free)

“A smart and imaginative tale.” -Steve Berry, NY Times bestselling author

A thought-provoking novel that imagines what could have happened if the Uk had succeeded in kidnapping General George Washington.

British special agent Jeremiah Dark, an officer of the King’s Guard, lands on the lonesome beach in the wee hours from the morning in late November 1780. The revolution is completely swing but has become deadlocked. Black is here now to improve all that.

His mission, aided by Loyalists, is about The Trial and Execution of the Traitor George Washington to kidnap George Washington and heart him back again to London aboard the HMS Peregrine, a Uk sloop of war that’s waiting closely offshore. Once he lands, though, the “help by Loyalists” shows difficult because some would like just to eliminate the general outright. Black manages-just-to get Washington aboard the Peregrine, which sails away.

Upon their arrival in London, Washington is imprisoned in the Tower to await trial on charges of high treason. England’s most well-known barristers look for to represent him but he insists on using an American. He selects Abraham Hobhouse, an American-born barrister with an British wife-a guy who doesn’t really need the work and feels the “career-building” case will end up being easily resolved through funds of the revolution and Washington’s release. But as better political and armed forces forces swirl around them and peace seems ever more distant, Hobhouse discovers that he is the thing keeping Washington through the hangman’s noose.

Sketching inspiration from a rumored kidnapping plot hatched in 1776 by a member of Washington’s have Commander-in-Chief Safeguard, Charles Rosenberg provides written a convincing book that envisions what would take place if the first choice of America’s fledgling rebellion were taken from the nation at the elevation of the battle, imperiling any chance of victory.
