A review by dreaming_ace
Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow

5.0

A wonderfully written biography about an amazing but complex figure. Though to say this is only a biography would be false: It is a biography, a in depth history of the foundations of our country, and a history of the area around where I was born in Upstate NY. I learned a lot about government, and the foundations which have led to the strengths and weaknesses of this country. Chernow writes in such a way that I have often commented or laughed out loud (Confusing people on the Bus etc). Also because I love the music of the musical Hamilton this biography became a musical biography interspersed with the songs. Thank you Ron Chernow for this wonderful biography.
