Alexander Hamilton
by Ron Chernow
|
This is a comprehensive, well-written
biography
of perhaps the most brilliant
and compelling
founding father. Hamilton was
the prototypical
American success story: born
poor and illegitimate
in the Caribbean, through smarts
and hard
work he became a leading public
figure in
his adopted land. A current exhibit
at the
New-York Historical Society (an
organization
that he helped found) styles
Hamilton as
the "Man Who Made Modern
America,"
a man far ahead of his time.
This book confirms
that assessment. |
