Unlikely Allies: How a Merchant, a Playwright, and a Spy Saved the American Revolution Paperback - 2010
by Joel Richard Paul
"Unlikely Allies" is the story of three remarkable historical figures--Silas Deane, Caron de Beaumarchais, and Chevalier d'Eon--who successfully used espionage, betrayal, and sexual deception to help win the American Revolution.
Summary
Silas Deane, a Connecticut merchant and member of the Continental Congress, went to France to persuade the king to support the colonists in their struggle with Britain. Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais was a playwright who had access to the arms and ammunition that Deane needed. And the Chevalier d'Éon was a diplomat and sometime spy for the French king who ignited a crisis that persuaded the French to arm the Americans. This is the true story of how three remarkable people lied, cheated, stole, and cross-dressed across Europe to gain France's aid as the War of American Independence hung in the balance.
