Benedict Arnold: Patriot and Traitor is a biography written by Oscar Sherwin that delves into the life of one of the most controversial figures in American history. The book explores the rise and fall of Benedict Arnold, a former American military officer who famously defected to the British army during the American Revolution.The book begins with Arnold's early life, including his upbringing in Connecticut and his early military career during the French and Indian War. It then moves on to his involvement in the American Revolution, detailing his successes on the battlefield and his growing disillusionment with the Continental Congress and its leadership.The turning point of the book comes with Arnold's decision to switch sides and join the British army. Sherwin examines the factors that led to this decision, including Arnold's financial troubles and his belief that the American cause was doomed to fail. The book also explores the aftermath of Arnold's defection, including his role as a British officer and his eventual move to England.Throughout the book, Sherwin presents a balanced view of Arnold, highlighting both his strengths as a military leader and his flaws as a person. He also provides a detailed look at the political and social climate of the time, giving readers a deeper understanding of the events that shaped Arnold's life and career.Overall, Benedict Arnold: Patriot and Traitor is a well-researched and engaging biography that sheds new light on one of the most fascinating figures in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
