About this ebook
From 1775 through 1777, George Washington and Benedict Arnold were America's two most celebrated warriors. Their earlier lives had surprisingly parallel paths. They were strong leaders in combat, they admired and respected each other, and they even shared common enemies. Yet one became our greatest hero and the other our most notorious traitor. 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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is excellent. There was not much new about Washington, but the book takes a side-by-side comparison of Washington and Arnold. This brought clarity to some of the actions of the characters. I was concerned that the author would minimize Arnold's treason or his importance to the revolution. Contrary to my fears, this book showed how important Arnold was to America's independence, and how treacherous he was. I would highly recommend this book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5- Biography of two men with great talents and both had the potential for greatness..the difference in the two was character- G.W. character shaped his greatness and B.A. lack of character resulted in him being labeled as the #1 traitor in US history- Each individual would react differently when faced with adversity and public insults- Color photos make this a very attractive book
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I'm not sure if it's just the ebook but there's no bibliography, citations, or footnotes. This is a non-fiction history book, there NEEDS to be sources.
