Boyer New York Times Book Review "Both a biography and an extended meditation on the ironies of the Revolution, Benedict Arnold, Revolutionary Hero is in many ways a remarkable example of the historian's craft...[an] indispensable guide." --Los Angeles Times "Restores Arnold to the pantheon of American war heroes." --New England Quarterly "Martin discloses a new and entirely credible Benedict Arnold." --The William and Mary Quarterly"Martin's thorough primary-source research--the best in any biography of Arnold to date--underpins convincing explanations for both Arnold's intense revolutionary zeal and his subsequent betrayal.
