Benedict Arnold is known for betraying America during the Revolutionary War, but he was also regarded as a war hero. Historian Blane Ampthor explores the paradox of Arnold's complicated legacy.

Benedict Arnold is widely known as the man who betrayed America during the Revolutionary War. However, he was more than just a traitor; he was considered one of America's best soldiers. Arnold achieved remarkable successes both on land and at sea, with a naval battle possibly being his finest accomplishment. To form a well-rounded opinion of him, it is important to understand this complex individual within the context of the Revolutionary War.
