General Benedict Arnold's failed attempt to betray the fortress of West Point to the British in 1780 stands as one of the most infamous episodes in American history. In the light of a shining record of bravery and unquestioned commitment to the Revolution, Arnold's defection came as an appalling shock. Contemporaries believed he had been corrupted by greed; historians have theorized that he had come to resent the lack of recognition for his merits and sacrifices. In this provocative book, Stephen Brumwell challenges such interpretations and draws on unexplored archives to reveal other crucial factors that illuminate Arnold's abandonment of the revolutionary cause he once championed. This work traces Arnold's journey from enthusiastic support of American independence to his spectacularly traitorous acts and narrow escape. Brumwell's research leads to an unexpected conclusion: Arnold's mystifying betrayal was driven by a staunch conviction that America's best interests would be served by halting the bloodshed and reuniting the fractured British Empire.

Studying the American Revolution is my passion. I have always thought of Benedict Arnold in a better light than most, aside from the obvious, and the details and perspective in this book was fair, balanced and I really enjoyed it. My next episode will be about him, on my Patriot Power Podcast.

This was a fine volume. I suppose I didn't learn anything particularly new here. I've read a lot of Revolutionary War history and I thought I would learn more specifics since I've never read a book devoted to Arnold. The narration was good.

Not bad
