PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Joyce Lee Malcolm is a professor at George Mason University School of Law. She is the author of Guns and Violence; Peter’s War; and To Keep and Bear Arms. She lives in Alexandria, Virginia.
'Since the fall of Lucifer,' Nathanael Greene, a general in the Continental Army, wrote after the Revolutionary War, 'nothing has equaled the fall of Arnold.' Joyce Lee Malcolm knows this story, and yet she has embraced the thankless, if not Sisyphean, task of contextualizing America's first traitor in her new and aptly named biography. Malcolm has written a fine biography- the best in recent memory, in fact. -- Washington Post Shows that Arnold's hunger for recognition and refusal to compromise embroiled him in conflicts that weakened his commitment to independence. Ms. Malcolm draws on colonial history and the outlook of the 18th-century Atlantic world to describe a profound civilian distrust of professional soldiers and standing armies and how tensions between George Washington and the Continental Congress, whose members had adopted this wary civilian view of the military, fueled ever greater discontent within the Continental Army. -- Wall Street Journal
