Description

Benedict Arnold was the most respected and feared officer in the American revolutionary army. Resourceful and utterly unafraid, he seemed to thrive on impossible challenges. In the dead of winter he marched through the wilds of Maine to attack Quebec; he built a fleet on Lake Champlain in four months and stymied the British drive south; he was largely responsible for the American victory at Saratoga and for Burgoyne's surrender. Several times he narrowly escaped death in hand-to-hand engagements. Although Arnold was a hero to his troops, official recognition was denied him. Congress first refused to reimburse his expenses, then ignored his seniority and promoted lesser officers over his head. The impatient Arnold became disgusted with political intrigues and within months of his triumph at Saratoga his allegiance to the American cause began to waver. John André, adjutant general of the British army, was a different sort of man. He was polished, coldly political, and a shrewd judge of character. Realizing Arnold's importance to the rebels, André enlisted the help of the beautiful Mrs. Arnold, a staunch Tory, in playing on the general's disaffection. This book traces the strange sequence of events leading Arnold to defect to the British. The story combines the adventure of a novel with the drama of an important historical incident; for had West Point fallen to the British as planned, the war might have ended shortly. Author Brian Boylan, carefully avoiding the usual prejudices against "Arnold the Traitor," sets him before us as a fascinating, flawed man. --page 4 of cover.
