An epic story of one mans devotion to the American cause

in october 1776, four years before benedict arnolds treasonous attempt to hand control of the hudson river to the british, his patch-work fleet on lake champlain was all that stood between british forces and a swift end to the american rebellion.

Benedict Arnolds Navy is the dramatic chronicle of that desperate battle and of the extraordinary events that occurred on the American Revolutions critical northern front. Written with captivating narrative vitality, this landmark book shows how Benedict Arnolds fearless leadership against staggering odds in a northern wilderness secured for America the independence that he would later try to betray.
