of Dave Richard Palmer
Description
From 1775 through 1777, George Washington and Benedict Arnold were Americaâs two most celebrated warriors. Their earlier lives had surprisingly parallel paths.

Why?In the new paperback edition of George Washington and Benedict Arnold: A Tale of Two Patriots, author and military historian Dave Palmer reveals the answer: character. In this fascinating and unique dual biography, Palmer also shows:How Arnoldâs treason actually helped the Patriot causeWhy Arnold and Washingtonâs amazingly similar backgrounds, family influences, youthful experiences, and âselfâmadeâ status led to strikingly different results in their livesHow in four wellâdefined steps Arnold went from hero to traitorPresenting the panorama of the Revolutionary War through the lives of two of its most colorful and important figures, George Washington and Benedict Arnold reveals important lessons for today through a story that few Americans know, but that every American should.
