"Based on Alexander Rose’s book Washington’s Spies, AMC’s TURN tells the untold story of America’s first spy ring. A historical thriller set during the Revolutionary War, TURN centers on Abe Woodhull (Jamie Bell), a farmer living in British-occupied Long Island who bands together with his childhood friends to form the Culper Ring -- an unlikely team of secret agents who not only went on to help George Washington turn the tide of the war but also gave birth to modern spycraft.

Didn't Brian Kilmeade also write that book?

Yes...there have been several books about this. Kilmeade got the publicity, and he and his co-author have done a reasonable job. This series was planned way before he thought of writing his book. I believe it is still on the NYT’s bestseller list.
