"Secret History of the American Revolution" by Carl Van Doren, published by The Viking Press in New York, 1941, offers a unique exploration into the clandestine aspects of the American Revolution. This first edition, released in October 1941, follows the limited, signed edition and provides an in-depth account of the conspiracies involving figures like Benedict Arnold, drawn from secret service papers of the British Headquarters. Van Doren, a distinguished historian, presents these revelations for the first time, offering a fresh perspective on pivotal historical events. This edition is significant for collectors and historians interested in the lesser-known narratives of the Revolution. The book is bound in red cloth, with the title embossed on the cover and spine, and it lacks a dust jacket.
