God Save Benedict Arnold: The True Story of America's Most Hated Man is a vivid, fast-paced dive into Arnold's string of heroic achievements -- including his capture of Fort Ticonderoga, his daring expedition to Quebec, and his decisive role in the turning-point Battle of Saratoga.
The book does not exonerate him for his treason -- the stain on his character is permanent. But Jack Kelly's insight into Arnold's personality and his flaming depiction of Arnold's career as a warrior give this gutsy and enigmatic figure a human dimension. In the process, God Save Benedict Arnold offers a fresh perspective on the reasons for Arnold's momentous change of heart.
