Description
"What started one of Washington's best officers down the path of treachery? In "The Life of Benedict Arnold," Isaac N. Arnold, a descendant of Benedict Arnold, looks at both sides of this mysterious and compelling American. The author shows us the complete man - from his early boyhood to his military success, the betrayal, and his last years in England. Isaac Arnold also draws a vivid portrait of Benedict Arnold's wife, Peggy Shippen, who played a critical role in her husband's treachery. With dozens of excerpts from the actual letters and memorandum of George Washington, Benedict Arnold, Peggy Shippen, and many other historical figures, Isaac Arnold leads us up to that moment when Benedict Arnold made his fateful decision - one which he truly believed would peacefully end the ongoing bloodshed of his fellow Americans." - back cover.
