His men worshipped him as a hero. But as the legendary general of the Continental Army neared success, drawing Arnold inexorably toward the greatest crime of the age, one that would forever make his name synonymous with the word "Revolutionary". Meticulously researched and brilliantly rendered, Dark Eagle illuminates both sides of the War from 1775 to 1780. Harr traces Arnold's spectacular rise, culminating in his victory at Saratoga and his marriage to the loyalist daughter of a prominent family, and Arnold's decline, culminating in their plan with Major John Andre and Peggy to betray West Point Academy to the British.
