Book Description

Editorial Review
Ron Chernow, whom The New York Times has called "as elegant an architect
of monumental histories as we've seen in decades," brings to startling
life the Founding Father who was the principal designer of the federal
government,the patron saint of Wall Street, and the object of both ardent
idolatry and vehement loathing by his peers. Alexander Hamilton was
arguably the most important figure in American history who never attained
the presidency, but he had a far more lasting impact than many who did.
With masterful storytelling, Chernow offers the whole sweep of Hamilton's
turbulent life: his exotic, brutal upbringing; his brilliant military,legal,
and financial exploits; his titanic feuds with Jefferson, Madison, Adams,
and Monroe; his shocking illicit romances; his enlightened abolitionism;
and his famous death in a duel with Vice President Aaron Burr in July
1804. Alexander Hamilton figured prominently in almost every major political
episode of late-eighteenth-century America, often as the protagonist.
He was so pivotal in the nation's early years that his consistently
absorbing saga, rendered in Chernow's vivid prose, offers a riveting
and sustained account of America's founding era from the Revolutionary
War to the formation of the first federal government and beyond.
