Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow
3.0

This, the definitive popular biography of its subject, strikes me as required reading simply from a cultural literacy perspective.

That said, Hamilton's life passed through stages of greater and lesser interest to this particular reader. While I found passages on the man's early life and wartime history fascinating, I bogged down in its descriptions of his financial accomplishments on behalf of the country.

Still, I rate this book as worth the time of those interested in American history or popular culture.
