About this product

Product Information

An epic story of one man's devotion to the American cause In October 1776, four years before Benedict Arnold's treasonous attempt to hand control of the Hudson River to the British, his patch-work fleet on Lake Champlain was all that stood between British forces and a swift end to the American rebellion. Benedict Arnold's Navy is the dramatic chronicle of that desperate battle and of the extraordinary events that occurred on the American Revolution's critical northern front. Written with captivating narrative vitality, this landmark book shows how Benedict Arnold's fearless leadership against staggering odds in a northern wilderness secured for America the independence that he would later try to betray. Praise for James L. Nelson: "James Nelson is a master both of his period and of the English language." --Patrick O'Brian, author of Master and Commander "James L. Nelson tells this story with clarity and literary skill and with such ease and order that the reader feels he is attending a dissertation on history given by a consummate lecturer." --Ron Berthel, Associated Press, on Reign of Iron: The Story of the First Battling Ironclads , winner of the American Library Association's 2004 Award for Best Military History "It is, by far, the best Civil War novel I've read; reeking of battle, duty, heroism and tragedy. It's a triumph of imagination and good, taut writing . . . " --Bernard Cornwell on Glory in the Name , winner of the W. Y. Boyd Literary Award

Concise, well-written, factual.
A well-written, concise and factual account of Arnold's "walk in the Maine woods," the attack on Quebec and, in greater detail, the battle fought on Lake Champlain between the fledgling American navy and the British lake fleet. Almost as good as Kenneth Roberts' account of Arnold's contributions to the American cause in "Arundel," but Nelson focuses more on the engagements at Valcour island and other areas of lake Champlain. Not a biography of Arnold per se, but the author is sympathetic to Arnold's resentment at the treatment he received at the hands of the politicians of the Continental Congress. Only negative comment is that the author tends to conflate, or at least use interchangeably, the the terms "English" and "British." Yes, I know the English do this themselves frequently, but the editors and proof readers of historical works should know the difference if they are native English speakers.Read full review

How the U.S. got to be the U.S. because of Benedict Arnold, before he became a traitor.
Absolutely fascinating book on the history of one of America's traitors----HOWEVER, why we may not have won the Revolutionary War had it not been for Benedict Arnold, before he turned traitor. Great bit of history which few would know about

Excellent book about of Benedict Arnold's heroism.
Excellent account of the events leading up to and after the Battle of Valcour Island. James Nelson's writing style keeps the reader riveted to the pages and his research and facts about Benedict Arnold are impressive. Journal accounts of the events by Arnold, Gates, Washington, Carleton, and others really makes this book and historical events come alive! A must read!
