Synopsis

Narrated by a London physician who gets an opportunity to treat--and befriend--the infamous general, Ben's Tale delves into the true story behind the most infamous treason event of American history. Born in Norwich, Connecticut in 1741, "Ben" Arnold answered his first military calling in the mid-1750s by joining the Norwich battalion. The zealous soldier fought bravely and contributed immensely to the American Revolutionary cause. After the battles of Danbury and Ridgefield in Connecticut, Ben was promoted to Major General. What, then, would cause this brave and cunning officer to be branded as the biggest traitor of the time? Find out whether the story of Ben Arnold is one of slanderous legend -- or that of an extraordinary man wrongly accused.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

With a different take on the life of Benedict Arnold, Ben's Tale reveals an epic story of greed and glory, family and friendship, treason and truthfulness. Told by a history buff who is also a London physician, the drama unfolds as the doctor gets an opportunity to treat-and befriend-the infamous general, and find out for himself whether Arnold's story is one of slanderous legend or an extraordinary man wrongly accused. The so-called traitor unmasks his tale of woe-of jealous, ambitious founding fathers, doubts about the viability of the new nation and of his relationship with his beautiful wife, Peggy, and her role in facilitating his change of coat.
