Description
Benedict Arnold: A Life of Betrayal and War. As a young man, Benedict Arnold was known for his bravery in battle. In 1754, he joined the militia to fight for the British colonies in America. By the time he was eighteen years old, he had become a captain and captured a major British fort. His actions earned him admiration from his troops and George Washington. However, less than twenty years later, Arnold found himself fighting against the British in the Revolutionary War. Despite being wounded in battle, he continued to fight for the colonies. But in 1780, he made a decision that would change the course of history: he betrayed his fellow Americans and joined the British army. This book tells the story of Benedict Arnold's life, exploring the events that led him to switch sides and become one of America's most infamous traitors.
