The title of this book speaks volumes. The Fighting General is what the revolutionary soldiers called General Arnold because his fighting style in battle won the heart and soul of the entire army. General Arnold was our most winning General in the field during the revolutionary war. He always led every charge, in advance, from the front. When asked why he defected to Great Britain, Arnold answered For the love of my country.
