Sobre este livro

In 1780, in the 'Neutral Ground' of Westchester County, New York, between the British and American lines during the Revolutionary War, a humble pedlar named Harvey Birch is suspected and hated by the Americans as a British spy. In fact he is working secretly for George Washington himself, who appears in disguise as 'Mr Harper', and he risks his life again and again, unable to reveal the truth even to save his own name, while the Wharton family, divided between the two sides, is caught up in the war.

Contexto e importância
