Alexander Hamilton

In the first full-length biography of Alexander Hamilton in decades, National Book Award winner Ron Chernow tells the riveting story of a man who overcame all odds to shape, inspire, and scandalize the newborn America. According to historian Joseph Ellis, Alexander Hamilton is �a robust full-length portrait, in my view the best ever written, of the most brilliant, charismatic and dangerous founder of them all.� Chernow�s biography is not just a portrait of Hamilton, but the story of America�s birth seen through its most central figure. At a critical time to look back to our roots, Alexander Hamilton will remind readers of the purpose of our institutions and our heritage as Americans
