Did you also know that he was a General who was fearless in the line of fire and a genius at strategy? He was actually one of America’s first war heroes, but his drive for fame and recognition became his ultimate downfall. The biography, THE NOTORIOUS BENEDICT ARNOLD by Steve Sheinkin, includes first -person accounts, action packed battle scenes and a look at the private life of one of America’s most infamous villains.
