Book Club: Becoming Benedict Arnold

With the nearing of America’s 250th anniversary it seemed fitting to draw upon this as a theme for the first book club of the new year.

The selected book is Becoming Benedict Arnold, a work of fiction by Stephen Yoch.

ABOUT the BOOK

In this extensively researched Revolutionary War historical fiction novel, award-winning* author and lawyer Stephen Yoch presents the thrilling story of America's most notorious traitor.

Benedict Arnold was one of America's greatest heroes and perhaps the best tactical general of the Revolution. Arnold was totally committed to the Cause. Indisputably brave, he won pivotal battles against British forces that saved the Revolution. Yet, horrible wounds, a loyalist bride, and nasty political infighting all drove him into the welcoming arms of the British.

This first-person account explains why Arnold chose treason and betrayal over a country he once loved.

Stephen Yoch's award-winning debut novel, Becoming George Washington, has sold over ten thousand copies. Returning fans will love Yoch's masterful presentation of true, but little-known stories from American history.

The hotel has plenty of parking and offers a dinner menu if of interest.

Hope to see you there / then!
