Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow

5.0

"Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?" I (like many others) have been obsessed with the music of Hamilton and when a librarian recommended the book that inspired it all I didn't want to miss my shot. Given that our current political climate is divisive/explosive/full of conflict..(don't forget peeps..."History has it's eyes on you"), I thought I'd give it a read. I wish more history books were written as well as this is, although a lot is probably due to the amazing life of Alexander Hamilton. I haven't been able to stop talking about history, the things that Hamilton overcame in order to make it to America and the impact that just one person can have on the future of a country.
