Few things shocked American patriots as the betrayal of General Benedict Arnold.  After attempting to surrender West Point to the British, Arnold led a series of raids, first in Virginia, and then in his native state of Connecticut.  Matthew E. Reardon has written a new account of Arnold's raid on New London and attack on Fort Griswold,  The Traitor's Homecoming; Benedict Arnold's Raid on New London September 4-13,  1781.
