Mark Lender
Cabal! The Plot Against General Washington
Author Mark Edward Lender talks about his book, Cabal! The Plot Against General Washington, which is a historical investigation into the Conway Cabal, a group of American Revolutionary War officers and politicians who were critical of General George Washington’s leadership and sought to have him removed from command. Lender’s research reveals that the Cabal had the support of some members of Congress and the Continental Army.
