Description: "The United States has had its share of turncoats, from the Revolutionary War to the War on Terror. Whatever their reasons - financial, ideological, or egotistical - these betrayers all have one thing in common: their actions put the lives of every American at risk. In Traitors, journalist Richard Sale examines the lives, motivations, and thought patterns of those who have conspired against the United States - and unveils the extent of damage each brought upon the country in times of war and peace."--Jacket.
