Hero of the American Revolution era, Benedict Arnold became its most notorious byword for betrayal. Loyalty can turn in wartime. Isaac Newton Arnold follows the rise of a gifted Continental Army general and the slow unravelling that ended in Benedict Arnold treason, setting personal ambition against public cause. Written with the pace of narrative history and the rigour of documentation, this american history biography is also a military history biography: campaigns, command, politics, and the pressures of a young republic. From colonial New England history to the high stakes of revolutionary leadership, Arnold is placed beside allies and rivals who would become the nation's legends, giving vital context for readers drawn to founding fathers biographies. The result is a complete Benedict Arnold biography that refuses easy caricature, tracing how a patriot turned traitor could still claim a place in the story of American independence. As a nineteenth-century study, it shows how memory and reputation were contested long after the guns fell silent here. It remains a valued american history reference for students and scholars, and a strong foundation for any annotated biography edition or classroom discussion. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. More than a reprint, it belongs on the shelf of anyone who collects classic accounts of the Revolution, or simply wants to understand the human fault-lines beneath a nation's founding.
