From 1775 through 1777, George Washington and Benedict Arnold were
America's two most celebrated warriors. Their earlier lives had
surprisingly parallel paths. They were strong leaders in combat,
they admired and respected each other, and they even shared common
enemies. Yet one became our greatest hero and the other our most
notorious traitor. Why? In the new paperback edition of George
Washington and Benedict Arnold: A Tale of Two Patriots, author and
military historian Dave Palmer reveals the answer: character. In
this fascinating and unique dual biography, Palmer also shows: How
Arnold's treason actually helped the Patriot cause Why Arnold and
Washington's amazingly similar backgrounds, family influences,
youthful experiences, and "self made" status led to strikingly
different results in their lives How in four well defined steps
Arnold went from hero to traitor Presenting the panorama of the
Revolutionary War through the lives of two of its most colorful and
important figures, George Washington and Benedict Arnold reveals
important lessons for today through a story that few Americans
know, but that every American should.
