There was his dramatic victory against the British at Saratoga in 1777 and his troubled childhood in a pre-revolutionary America beset with class tension and economic instability. We witness his brilliant wartime military exploits and learn of his contentious relationship with a newly formed and fractious Congress, fearful of powerful military leaders, like Arnold, who could threaten the nation's fragile democracy. Throughout, Malcolm weaves in portraits of Arnold's great allies--George Washington, General Schuyler, his beautiful and beloved wife Peggy Shippen, and others--as well as his unrelenting enemy John Adams, British General Clinton, and master spy John Andre. Thrilling and thought-provoking, The Tragedy of Benedict Arnold sheds new light on a man--as well on the nuanced and complicated time in which he lived. 600 10 $a Arnold, Benedict, $d 1741-1801. 610 10 $a United States. $b Continental Army $v Biography. 650 0 $a American loyalists $v Biography. 650 0 $a Generals $z United States $v Biography. 941 $a 12 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409031238.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240104012009.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20231206014050.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230512010214.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722060036.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829014525.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204091845.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217025516.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006114624.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20180918010504.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20180626010431.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180502010347.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=287711624DCE11E89F5D1D5C97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
