Description: AMERICAN REVOLUTION: THE HERO AND THE TRAITOR THE AUTHOR OF THIS BOOK, Nathaniel Philbrick, is an acclaimed writer of works that bring American history to life - the products of deep research and the author's narrative skills. With his books Mayflower and In the Heart of the Sea he took readers back to the early years of the nation - and with this one he turns his pen to the Revolutionary Period when George Washington's army was going through difficult setbacks against British forces. But one of Washington's favorite generals, Benedict Arnold - the future traitor - won a brilliant tactical victory when he stalled the British advance in a naval battle on Lake Champlain. In this riveting account of those times, Philbrick intertwines the stories of Washington and Arnold, one who rose to the highest ranks of the fledgling America, the other who turned to the enemy.
