Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow

5.0

I had high expectations going in with this book, and it did not disappoint. What a fascinating, brilliant, if imperfect, man is revealed. I learned so much not just about Hamilton but the entire era from the Revolution to Jefferson’s presidency. In many ways, it feels like you could plunk Hamilton, Adams, Jefferson & Madison into today’s political scene, and they would fit right in! It amazes me we made it through those first tenuous decades. But it also gives me hope that we will survive another 200+ years. Well done Mr. Chernow!
