"The Indians called him "Dark Eagle" out of respect for both his military genius and his ruthlessness. His men worshiped him as a hero - the legendary general of the Continental Army who led them against the formidable British forces. But as he neared the pinnacle of success, things began to go wrong for Benedict Arnold, drawing him inexorably toward the greatest crime of the age, one that would forever make his name synonymous with the word "traitor.""--BOOK JACKET.
"Dark Eagle encompasses the action on both sides of the Revolutionary War from 1775 to 1780. John Ensor Harr traces Arnold's spectacular rise - outwitting the British at Valcour Bay; the relief of Fort Stanwixj and a stunning victory at Saratoga, the turning point of the war.
And he also traces Arnold's decline - a wound that nearly cost him his life; harassment by the radical government of Pennsylvania; his sense of betrayal by the Congress and his commander-in-chief, George Washington; and, finally, his treasonous triangle with the beautiful daughter of a prominent Philadelphia family, his new wife Peggy Shippen, and the man she had loved, Major John Andre, a gallant and artistic intelligence officer with the British Army."--BOOK JACKET.
