An Artist in Treason: The Extraordinary Double Life of General James Wilkinson In the early years of American history, there lived a man named General James Wilkinson, who led a double life as both a patriot and a traitor. This biography by Andro Linklater is the first modern account of Wilkinson's extraordinary life, revealing the intricate web of contradictions that defined his career. At the age of twenty, Wilkinson was the youngest general in the Revolutionary Continental Army and a key member of the Conway cabal, a group of officers who sought to oust George Washington from command. However, he also became Benedict Arnold's aide and was the first to expose his infamous treachery. By the time he was thirty-eight, Wilkinson had become the senior general in the United States army, but he had also turned traitor and was working as Agent 13 in the Spanish secret service. This audacious career move was anything but hidden, yet four presidents - Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison - turned a blind eye to his betrayal, gambling that Wilkinson's charisma and ruthlessness would never lead to the overthrow of the nascent democracy. Wilkinson's saga provides a unique insight into the fragility of the young republic and how its strength grew from the risks its leaders faced and the challenges they had to overcome.
An Artist in Treason: The Extraordinary Double Life of General James Wilkinson В первые годы американской истории жил человек по имени генерал Джеймс Уилкинсон, который вел двойную жизнь и как патриот, и как предатель. Эта биография Андро Линклейтера - первый современный рассказ о необыкновенной жизни Уилкинсона, раскрывающий запутанную паутину противоречий, определивших его карьеру. В возрасте двадцати лет Уилкинсон был самым молодым генералом Революционной континентальной армии и ключевым членом клики Конвея - группы офицеров, стремившихся отстранить Джорджа Вашингтона от командования. Тем не менее, он также стал помощником Бенедикта Арнольда и был первым, кто разоблачил его печально известное предательство. К тридцати восьми годам Уилкинсон стал старшим генералом армии США, но он также стал предателем и работал агентом 13 в испанской секретной службе. Этот дерзкий карьерный ход был ничем иным, как скрытым, однако четыре президента - Вашингтон, Адамс, Джефферсон и Мэдисон - закрывали глаза на его предательство, играя на том, что харизма и безжалостность Уилкинсона никогда не приведут к свержению зарождающейся демократии. Сага Уилкинсона дает уникальное понимание хрупкости молодой республики и того, как ее сила выросла из рисков, с которыми столкнулись ее лидеры, и вызовов, которые им пришлось преодолеть.
An Artist in Treason : The Extraordinary Double Life of General James Wilkinson Dans les premières années de l'histoire américaine a vécu un homme nommé le général James Wilkinson, qui a mené une double vie et en tant que patriote et en tant que traître. Cette biographie d'Andro Linklater est la première histoire moderne de la vie extraordinaire de Wilkinson, révélant le réseau confus de contradictions qui ont déterminé sa carrière. À l'âge de vingt ans, Wilkinson était le plus jeune général de l'Armée continentale révolutionnaire et un membre clé de la cabale Conway, un groupe d'officiers qui cherchaient à retirer George Washington du commandement. Cependant, il est également devenu l'assistant de Benedict Arnold et a été le premier à dénoncer sa trahison infâme. À l'âge de trente-huit ans, Wilkinson devint général en chef de l'armée des États-Unis, mais il devint aussi un traître et un agent 13 des services secrets espagnols. Cette audace de carrière n'était rien d'autre que cachée, mais quatre présidents - Washington, Adams, Jefferson et Madison - ont fermé les yeux sur sa trahison, jouant sur le fait que le charisme et l'impitoyabilité de Wilkinson ne conduiraient jamais au renversement de la démocratie naissante. La saga Wilkinson fournit une compréhension unique de la fragilité de la jeune république et de la façon dont sa force s'est développée à partir des risques auxquels ses dirigeants ont été confrontés et des défis qu'ils ont dû relever.

Diese Biographie von Andro Linklater ist die erste moderne Geschichte über Wilkinsons außergewöhnliches ben und enthüllt das verworrene Geflecht von Widersprüchen, die seine Karriere bestimmten. Im Alter von zwanzig Jahren war Wilkinson der jüngste General der Revolutionären Kontinentalarmee und ein Schlüsselmitglied der Conway-Clique, einer Gruppe von Offizieren, die George Washington aus dem Kommando entfernen wollten. Er wurde jedoch auch Assistent von Benedikt Arnold und war der erste, der seinen berüchtigten Verrat aufdeckte. Im Alter von achtunddreißig Jahren wurde Wilkinson ein leitender General der US-Armee, aber er wurde auch ein Verräter und arbeitete als 13-Agent für den spanischen Geheimdienst. Dieser gewagte Karriereschritt war nichts anderes als verborgen, aber vier Präsidenten - Washington, Adams, Jefferson und Madison - schlossen die Augen vor seinem Verrat und spielten darauf, dass Wilkinsons Charisma und Rücksichtslosigkeit niemals zum Sturz der entstehenden Demokratie führen würden. Wilkinsons Saga bietet einen einzigartigen Einblick in die Fragilität der jungen Republik und wie ihre Stärke aus den Risiken, denen sich ihre Führer gegenübersahen, und den Herausforderungen, die sie bewältigen mussten, gewachsen ist.

An Artist in Treason: The Extraordinary Double Life of General James Wilkinson Amerikan tarihinin ilk yıllarında hem vatansever hem de hain olarak çifte hayat süren General James Wilkinson adında bir adam yaşadı. Andro Linklater'ın bu biyografisi, Wilkinson'ın olağanüstü yaşamının ilk çağdaş anlatımıdır ve kariyerini tanımlayan çelişkiler ağını ortaya çıkarır. Yirmi yaşındayken Wilkinson, Devrimci Kıta Ordusu'nun en genç generali ve Conway kliğinin kilit bir üyesiydi - George Washington'u komutanlıktan uzaklaştırmaya çalışan bir grup subay. Bununla birlikte, Benedict Arnold'un asistanı oldu ve rezil ihanetini ortaya çıkaran ilk kişi oldu. Otuz sekiz yaşına geldiğinde, Wilkinson ABD Ordusu'nda kıdemli bir general olmuştu, ama aynı zamanda bir hain oldu ve İspanyol Gizli Servisi'nde Ajan 13 olarak çalıştı. Bu küstah kariyer hamlesi gizli kalmaktan başka bir şey değildi, ancak dört başkan - Washington, Adams, Jefferson ve Madison - ihanetine göz yumdu, Wilkinson'ın karizmasının ve acımasızlığının asla doğmakta olan bir demokrasiyi düşürmeyeceği gerçeğine oynadı. Wilkinson'ın destanı, genç cumhuriyetin kırılganlığına ve gücünün liderlerinin karşılaştığı risklerden ve üstesinden gelmek zorunda kaldıkları zorluklardan nasıl büyüdüğüne dair eşsiz bir fikir veriyor.
فنان في الخيانة: الحياة المزدوجة غير العادية للجنرال جيمس ويلكينسون في السنوات الأولى من التاريخ الأمريكي عاش رجل يدعى الجنرال جيمس ويلكينسون، الذي عاش حياة مزدوجة كوطني وخائن. هذه السيرة الذاتية لأندرو لينكلاتر هي أول سرد معاصر لحياة ويلكينسون غير العادية، حيث تكشف عن شبكة متشابكة من التناقضات التي حددت حياته المهنية. في سن العشرين، كان ويلكينسون أصغر جنرال في الجيش القاري الثوري وعضوًا رئيسيًا في زمرة كونواي - وهي مجموعة من الضباط الذين سعوا لإخراج جورج واشنطن من القيادة. ومع ذلك، أصبح أيضًا مساعد بنديكت أرنولد وكان أول من كشف خيانته سيئة السمعة. في سن الثامنة والثلاثين، أصبح ويلكينسون جنرالًا كبيرًا في الجيش الأمريكي، لكنه أصبح أيضًا خائنًا وعمل كعميل 13 في الخدمة السرية الإسبانية. لم تكن هذه الخطوة المهنية الصاخبة أقل من خفية، لكن أربعة رؤساء - واشنطن وآدامز وجيفرسون وماديسون - غضوا الطرف عن خيانته، ولعبوا على حقيقة أن جاذبية ويلكينسون وقسوته لن تسقط أبدًا ديمقراطية ناشئة. توفر ملحمة ويلكينسون نظرة ثاقبة فريدة لهشاشة الجمهورية الفتية وكيف نمت قوتها من المخاطر التي واجهها قادتها والتحديات التي كان عليهم التغلب عليها.
