Alexander Hamilton
by Ron Chernow
Alexander Hamilton is shown in this lengthy and thoroughly researched bio to be one of the most fascinating characters in American history. Every time I read about our nation's past I am reminded that issues we see so clearly in hindsight (including whether we should have a national currency) would be controversial and divisive in their time. Hamilton was brilliant, prolific in his writings, one of the founding fathers most opposed to slavery, and came from a completely different background than other leaders of the Revolutionary period.
