Benedict Arnold is one of America's most notorious traitors, but his story is more complicated than the simple narrative of treachery that dominates popular accounts. George Canning Hill's biography offers a nuanced and compelling portrait of Arnold, exploring his early heroism in the American Revolution, his growing disillusionment with the new nation, and ultimately his decision to join the British. Hill's work is a masterful retelling of a complex and often tragic life.
