O knihe
This is a dramatic story of intrigue, manipulation, high risk and great danger.
August 14th, 1775 was a hot, humid, moonlit night. The British Governor of Bermuda was sound asleep in his bed. The Royal Gunpowder Magazine was unguarded. It made a tempting target.
The American Rebels needed gunpowder. The Bermudians needed provisions. A secret deal was done. A covert band of Bermudians carried out the theft, a potentially treasonous crime against the British Crown.
But it worked. It was a masterpiece of deception, planning and execution.
To the British Governor it was "a most heinous and attrocious crime" and his worst nightmare. To General Washington it was a gift from heaven.
