I am by no means a history buff. And although this novel may be considered a historical nonfiction, is it possible that it could also be categorized as a historical fiction? One who is not into the historical stuff might have thought, "Great! A history novel!" Yet, the way this is written makes the reading, even for a non history buff like me, interesting and bearable.
Upon reading the title of the book that I was reading, my husband, who IS a history buff asked me, "Why are you reading about that traitor?" I didn't get to discuss much of it with him since he works insanely A LOT, but based on what I know of him, and what I read about him in this book, just as he betrayed his coutnry, he also helped it tremendously. Interesting and easy to read, reading this did not feel like a chore at all. I liked that it exposed Benedict just as he was.
