Benedict Arnold's Navy Author: “Benedict Arnold’s Navy is an excellent book.” — --Associated Press “This book must be on the shelf of anyone who is interested in our struggle for independence, a war we should not have won against the strongest nation on earth, but did.” — --Sea History “A suspenseful, vivid account.” — -... more » Covering one of history’s great “tipping point” battles, Benedict Arnold’s Navy recounts the courageous and exemplary campaign of Arnold and his cobbled-together fleet of “ships” against a much superior British force in the Battle of Valcour Island (Lake Champlain) in October 1776.This landmark book shows how Arnold’s fearless leadership against staggering odds in a northern wilderness secured for America the independence that he would later try to betray.
