How does the author portray Benedict Arnold in the biography, Traitor: The Case of Benedict Arnold?

Fritz plays up the dominant personality traits of the American general: his bravery, which at times leads him to the extremes of foolhardiness, and his driving need for success and recognition. In a sense, Arnold appears as an Achilles-figure: like the Greek warrior in Homer's Iliad, he is shown to sulk when lesser figures refuse to grant him what he believes is his due.
