Customer Reviews

Interesting subject, wonderful book

Benedict Arnold is well known as the man who tried to ruin the American Revolution. Less known is that he was a Revolutionary War hero who almost single-handedly made it possible for the United States to win its independence from Great Britain. This book is not an in-depth study of the Arnold, but it's not meant to be. It is, however, an interesting, well-researched overview of Arnold and his times. It contains lots of information about Arnold and some possible reasons for his actions.
