"Sheinkin sees Arnold as America's 'original action hero' and succeeds in writing a brilliant, fast-paced biography that reads like an adventure novel...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." --STARRED, Kirkus Reviews
"American history is brought to life in this engaging story of revolution and treason... The Notorious Benedict Arnold is likely to make readers want to learn more about the American Revolution and its players, great and small." --STARRED, School Library Journal
"Several complex political, social, and military themes emerge, one of the most prominent being that within the Continental army, often simplistically depicted as single-minded patriots, beat hearts scheming with political machinations that are completely familiar today...Arnold's inexorable clash with Gates and his decision to turn traitor both chill and compel." --STARRED, Horn Book Magazine
"History junkies are in for a treat when they pick up this lively, highly readable biography of the U.S.' most vilified traitor...A worthy addition to all libraries." --Booklist
