Benedict Arnold always carried things too far. As a boy he did
crazy things like climbing atop a burning roof and picking a fight
with the town constable. As a soldier, he was even more reckless.
He was obsessed with being the leader and the hero in every battle,
and he never wanted to surrender. He even killed his own horse once
rather than give it to the enemy.
Where did the extremism lead Arnold? To treason.
America's most notorious traitor is brought to life as Jean Fritz
relays the engrossing story of Benedict Arnold -- a man whose
pride, ambition, and self-righteousness drove him to commit the
heinous crime of treason against the United States during the
American Revolution.
"A highly entertaining biography illuminating the personality of a
complex man." --"Horn Book"
"A gripping story. . . As compelling as a thriller, the book also
shines as history." --"Publishers Weekly"
