\nFrom military heroism to infamy, Benedict Arnold\u2019s name is one that has become synonymous with treasonous behavior since the beginnings of America. GOD SAVE \nBENEDICT ARNOLD: The True Story of America\u2019s Most Hated Man by Jack Kelly (St. Martin\u2019s Press) is an exploration of the triumphs, flaws, and motivations of a figure who left an indelible mark on American \nhistory. In the book, Kelly does not exonerate Benedict Arnold for treason, but he demonstrates how Arnold was essential to victory before becoming a traitor. He \noffers a reevaluation of Arnold\u2019s career, shows his string of heroic achievements, and also speculates on what may \nhave prompted Arnold\u2019s betrayal.
