Book
Benedict Arnold
Benedict Arnold examines the gifted Continental officer whose name became synonymous with treason. It follows his early military successes at Ticonderoga, Quebec and Saratoga, where his courage and aggressive leadership made a major contribution to the American cause.
The biography then traces the grievances, debts and political resentments that led Arnold to negotiate with the British and attempt to surrender West Point. His exposure, escape and later British service reveal both the personal motives behind betrayal and the fragile loyalties of a revolutionary civil war.
