Book Description:

Benedict Arnold was a rebel, a patriot, a supremely brave battlefield commander, and George Washington's most favored general. Beyond those accolades Arnold was "no bit actor but a marquee performer in establishing the conditions that ultimately brought victory to the American cause." Benedict Arnold's name will always be synonymous with that of traitor, but his ultimate contribution should be remembered as that of "key to the success of the American Revolution."
