Who set the mysterious fire that burned down New York City shortly after the British took it over during the American Revolution? This is the first book to fully explore the Great Fire of 1776 and why its origins remained a mystery even after two British investigations (1776 and 1783). During that summer, with New York still in American hands, George Washington repeatedly threatened to burn the city rather than let the British take it, but it wasn't until shortly after control changed hands in the aftermath of the Battle of Long Island, that much it burned to the ground. Historian Bemjamin L. Carr uncovers stories of espionage, terrorism, and radicalism to paint a vivid picture of the chaos, passions, and unresolved tragedies that defined the moment.
