How does somebody go from being one
of the biggest supporters of the American
Revolution to its most reviled traitor?
While his betrayal of George Washington
is famous, the full history of THE
NOTORIOUS BENEDICT ARNOLD
(Flash Point, $19.99) is less well known.
In this well-researched and captivating
biography, Steve Sheinkin presents
another side of Arnold, focusing on his
deep commitment to the revolution as
well as the tensions between Arnold and
other officials in the army. Young fans of American history will devour
this close-up look at a complex figure. Ages 11-15. AJK
