The Notorious Benedict Arnold

Written in 2010 by Steve Sheinkin, the book encompasses the whole life of Benedict Arnold, from his freezing cold date of birth in Connecticut to his death in England in 1801.

Eventually, the two stories merge into one, when André and Arnold begin working together to hand West Point over to the British.

School Library Journal's starred review calls it an "engaging story of revolution and treason" in which "Sheinkin keeps readers wanting to know what will happen next.

"[1] Booklist as well was very positive, stating that "history junkies are in for a treat when they pick up this lively, highly readable biography," and called the book "a worthy addition to all libraries".

[2] Kirkus Reviews (starred review) says that Sheinkin wrote a "brilliant, fast-paced biography that reads like an adventure novel," and that "the author's obvious mastery of his material, lively prose and abundant use of eyewitness accounts make this one of the most exciting biographies young readers will find.
