A little about myself. I was born in the United States, grew up in Australia, educated (to the best of my modest abilities) in Britain, and have now circumnavigated back to the U.S. I served as a writer and producer on the AMC show, “Turn: Washington’s Spies,” which was adapted from my book, “Washington’s Spies.”
You can find me on Facebook, Twitter, or BlueSky (or just go to my website). If you’re interested in historical espionage, please do subscribe (free) to my Substack newsletter, “Spionage,” at https://alexanderrose.substack.com/ .
