The tactic of kidnapping enemy leaders, used in the recent wars in
Iraq and Afghanistan, dates to the American Revolution. George
Washington called such efforts ""honorable"" and supported attempts
to kidnap the British commander-in-chief, Benedict Arnold and a
future king of Great Britain. Washington was targeted at his
Morristown headquarters by British dragoons who crossed the frozen
Hudson River. New Jersey Governor William Livingston went to
considerable lengths to avoid being abducted by the Loyalist raider
James Moody. This book covers attempted and successful abductions
of military and civilian leaders from 1775 to 1783.
