The Notorious Benedict Arnold by Steve Sheinkin
A True Story of Adventure, Heroism & Treachery
A gripping narrative that follows an American Revolutionary War hero whose early bravery and key victories gave way to growing resentment, financial strain, and secret dealings with the enemy, culminating in a plan to surrender the strategic fort at West Point. The account traces his daring campaigns and battlefield wounds, the influence of personal relationships and loyalist sympathies, and the clandestine correspondence with a British officer that exposed the plot and forced his escape to British lines. Drawing on primary documents and vivid storytelling, the book examines how ambition, grievance, and opportunism transformed a celebrated commander into one of the Revolution’s most notorious traitors and explores the lasting impact on his reputation and the war.
