(4) 4-6 Fact Finders: Perspectives on History series. "What could lead a distinguished general to betray the Patriot cause?" The book tackles that question by examining Arnold's military successes and frustrations as well as his flawed, insecure personality. Sidebars vary in value and relevant placement, but there's lots of interesting history here. Though he's mostly maligned, the narrative does humanize the notorious traitor. Common Core critical thinking questions are appended. Reading list. Glos., ind.
