"A soundly researched and readable book. Given his craving for attention, Lee would surely be delighted to know that he is not yet forgotten."(Wall Street Journal) "Perhaps residents of Fort Lee would petition to change their municipality’s name if they were more familiar with the treacherous behavior of the Revolutionary War figure whose legacy they bear. In Mazzagetti’s treatment, this shocking episode is smoothly told."(Star-Ledger) "The title says it all. This well-researched and argued biography portrays a man whose ambition and character always came before loyalty to his country or countrymen. Readers will find a compelling story of a character unlike any other during the Revolutionary era. Highly recommended."(Choice) "Lee’s story is one of those stranger-than-fiction tales, well told by Mazzagetti. It also illustrates the central role New Jersey played in the American Revolution."- Maxine N. Lurie (editor of New Jersey: A History of the Garden State) "Charles Lee, who died a year after Washington's victory at Yorktown, is likely to be the subject of controversy for as long as the Revolutionary War is studied. New slants will be presented and vague points emphasized as historians continue to dissect the strange behavior of Lee. It is unlikely that biographers will improve the work of Mazzagetti."
