Description: Near Fine in Near Fine jacket. Trade Edition. 6.25" x 9.25" "This suspenseful drama is a salutary reminder that the American Revolution between 1775 and 1778 was a two-front war. BENEDICT ARNOLD'S NAVY is a much needed look at the less-celebrated front to the north, where armies clashed in the wilderness and on the cold waters of Lake Champlain in battles that would determine the outcome of the war as surely as the fighting at Trenton and Yorktown.

"Proving, once again, how little I know about history. Apparently, Revolutionaries (successfully) attacked Montreal and (less successfully) Quebec. Also, Ethan Allen was a leader in a scruffy mountain militia called the Green Mountain Boys and, as far as I can tell, has no relation at all to furniture except that a nice little furniture company named themselves after him. In the 1930s. I know that the book title probably should have led me to expect this, but I was a little frustrated that the time after Lake Champlain was dealt with really quickly (a couple of chapters), although I did think that Nelson did a good job of reasonably foreshadowing Arnold's later treason - he gave everything for the American Revolution and basically got shafted for it. (Modern counterterrorism experts use MICE as an acronym for the reasons for espionage and treason: money, ideology, coercion, and ego. Arnold falls pretty easily into the ego camp.)"
"Excellent detail of little known battles of Benedict Arnold. Pleasantly surprised about detailed life of the time period and the efforts of a young nation in battle for freedom"
"It's kind of difficult to read, mainly because the author, who has chosen the title charater to write a biography, seems to need to extol the man's virtues...but the problem is he had so very little virtues, that it's hard to like him. He seemed vainglorious and reckless, and eventually spiteful and vindictive. It's a wonder he accomplished as much as he did..."
