Valiant Ambition: George Washington, Benedict Arnold, and the Fate of the American Revolution

byNathaniel Philbrick

Valiant Ambition examines george Washington, Benedict Arnold, and the Fate of the American Revolution, combining Nathaniel Philbrick's clear narrative with the perspective of a biographical portrait. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of biography & autobiography and history. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
