Benedict Arnold—few names in American history are as infamous. And for more than two centuries, readers of American history have asked: “Why did Benedict Arnold betray his country?” Although branded as this nation’s most villainous traitor from the very beginning, those who knew him then, and readers of history ever since, have wondered if Arnold had some other motive. Benedict Arnold – Legacy Lost (A Ghost’s Story), presents that motive and answers the question: why?
Within this work of historical fiction, the author describes Arnold's struggles with George Washington, as well as friends and family, to remove the stain of treason from his name. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Arnold did not act alone in his treasonous act. And it was none other than George Washington who, in his struggle for power and influence during the formation of a new Nation's government, kept the secret about Arnold's true motives from surfacing. As one of the millions of Americans who has wondered about Benedict Arnold's actions, and one who has spent nearly 10 years researching the man and the truths behind the purported "facts," the author has written Benedict Arnold Legacy Lost (A Ghost's Story) to cast this controversial American figure in a new light. Although some readers may find the novel's portrayal of Arnold's innocence troublesome; many others will find its plotline intriguing. In the end, every reader will be lead to ask: What if?

A biography of the ardent patriot and brilliant general who became America's most infamous traitor.
Benedict Arnold may be the most prominent villain in United States history. But was he the truly evil man that American folklore has made him out to be? In the beginning of the American Revolution, he was a staunch patriot and military hero, but by the end of the war his frustration led him to betray his nation. The bad reputation that resulted has lived on in infamy.
Two founding fathers of American industry. One desire to dominate business at any price. “Masterful . . . Standiford has a way of making the 1890s resonate with a twenty-first-century audience.”—USA Today “The narrative is as absorbing as that of any good novel—and as difficult to put down.”—Miami Herald The author of Last Train to Paradise tells the riveting story of Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, and the bloody steelworkers’ strike that transformed their fabled partnership into a furious rivalry. Set against the backdrop of the Gilded Age, Meet You in Hell captures the majesty and danger of steel manufacturing, the rough-and-tumble of the business world, and the fraught relationship between “the world’s richest man” and the ruthless coke magnate to whom he entrusted his companies. The result is an extraordinary work of popular history. Praise for Meet You in Hell “To the list of the signal relationships of American history . . . we can add one more: Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick . . . The tale is deftly set out by Les Standiford.”—Wall Street Journal “Standiford tells the story with the skills of a novelist . . . a colloquial style that is mindful of William Manchester’s great The Glory and the Dream.”—Pittsburgh Tribune-Review “A muscular, enthralling read that takes you back to a time when two titans of industry clashed in a battle of wills and egos that had seismic ramifications not only for themselves but for anyone living in the United States, then and now.”—Dennis Lehane, author of Mystic River
