sydneymcclure 's review for:

Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow
5.0

This reads like a novel and lives up to the hype. It was particularly interesting to read about the toxic partisan politics of the 1790s over the last month - I realized how we have been fighting some of the same battles and issues since our founding. As for Hamilton, I have a much greater respect for him than I did coming out of American history classes - this book should be required reading!
