About As New in all respects, clean, unmarked, maybe unread. First printing, full number line."Benedict Arnold takes center stage in Nathaniel Philbrick’s vivid and in some ways cautionary tale of the Revolutionary War. The near-tragic nature of the drama hinges not on any military secrets Arnold gave to the British but on an open secret: the weakness of the patriot cause….Arnold’s betrayal still makes for great drama, proving once again that the supposed villains of a story are usually the most interesting."--New York Times Book Review. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
