I received my copy today and have not had a chance to flip through it. However, the back cover's synopsis claims that eight Confederate officers hatched the scheme of burning the city in retaliation for the Union killing General John Hunt Morgan and torching the Shenandoah Valley.

The 8 officers served under Morgan on his great 'Northern Raid' but were under the orders of the Canadian Secret Service at the time of New York who provided their Greek Fire. The cover synopsis makes it sound that they were independent terrorists, which they were not.
