But even though he was hailed as a hero and a patriot, Arnold yearned for more - including the status and wealth his family had lost during his."
- "Insights not only into a man but also into a fascinating time, the period of the Revolutionary War in America."
- "In this illuminating biography of America's notorious traitor, Clare Brandt brings alive the times and the life of Benedict Arnold, one of history's most complex and confounding figures. Benedict Arnold has long been portrayed as an American Judas, the embodiment of hypocrisy and betrayal. In Clare Brandt's "masterful" and "eminently readable" biography, we discover the man behind the legend - a driven and often brilliant military leader whose social and personal."

A superb work of biography and history, The Man in the Mirror is full of surprising."
