So, you think you know history and you read a Book that challenges that. This is one of those books. Benedict Arnold, takes on flesh and bone and George Washington gains some clay feet. These larger than life figures are explained through the well documented and driving story that Nathaniel Philbrick offers in his book Valiant Ambition. I highly recommend this read. The book is 448 pages and a New York Times Best Seller. You won't be disappointed.
