520 2  "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"--Provided by publisher.
