A review by benwillie
Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow

4.0

I haven't read a biography in a while, but Ron Chernow makes it very easy to approach this one. I was obsessed with the Hamilton musical many years ago (I still remember every lyric...why won't my brain instead make space for things I try to remember?!) so this was a nice dose of empirical history to balance out the drama of the musical. I really enjoyed hearing more about such an influential and prolific Founding Father, and if you too have a hankering for history I recommend you give this...a shot ;)
