Donna Lower-Nord hosted 14 Unity Club members at her home Monday, where Judy Arbeiter gave a report on the book “Washington’s Spies: The Story of America’s First Spy.”

Beginning with the true story of Nathan Hale, author Alexander Rose gives us intrigue, crossed signals, derring-do and the priceless slices of 18th Century life, Arbeiter said.

Rose brings to life the true story of the spy ring that helped America win the Revolutionary War.

Further, Rose goes beyond the battlefield and into the shadowy underworld of double agents and triple crosses, covert operations and code breaking. At the heart of it all was the spymaster himself, George Washington, Arbeiter said.

A short business meeting was a part of Monday’s meeting.

The club will next meet at 1:30 p.m. Dec. 12 at Ellen Thompson’s home. Karen Lee will provide the program.
