A nation at war put one of its own on trial. Every page carries the weight of reputation. Proceedings Of A General Court Martial For The Trial Of Major General Arnold preserves the court martial proceedings as a sharply detailed military trial transcript from the American Revolution era. Presented as a complete trial record, it follows the formal machinery of justice in eighteenth century America: the framing of a military misconduct case, the handling of charges and testimony, and the disciplined language of decision. Read it for the human drama of scrutiny and consequence, or for the forensic clarity of how authority, evidence, and duty were argued when the Continental Army was still defining itself. For students, writers, and collectors, it stands as both a legal history reference and a primary source for American history research, illuminating continental army discipline in practice rather than in hindsight. As a piece of early American military law, this volume is more than documentation; it is a window into how a revolutionary cause policed its own conduct, and how public trust was protected through procedure. It belongs on the shelf beside any revolutionary war documents collection, equally compelling for the curious general reader and essential for historians who value original records over retellings. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
