Description
Alexander Hamilton is a landmark biography that sets the record straight on the life of one of America's most brilliant, charismatic and dangerous founders. Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ron Chernow presents a thorough and insightful portrait of Alexander Hamilton, from his illegitimate and largely self-taught upbringing in the Caribbean to his rise to become a key figure in the birth of the United States. Chernow's biography recounts Hamilton's turbulent life, including his role as aide-de-camp in the Continental Army, coauthoring The Federalist Papers, and founding the Bank of New York. He also explores the often-disputed ideas that Hamilton championed, and how these ideas continue to shape the modern world. This biography gives Hamilton his due, providing a nuanced and balanced view of a figure who has been both celebrated and reviled throughout history.
