Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow

5.0

---

Ron Chernow is crazy thorough on his reporting of Alexander Hamilton and the beginnings of the United States of America. He also does not bow to the romantic way that we often view America's forefathers. He lays bare the faults and virtues of Alexander Hamilton and those he was surrounded by but rarely makes judgement on them. My favorite part of the entire book, though, was the epilogue which he devoted wholly to Eliza Hamilton and the work that she did. I loved this book. If it wasn't such a long book I would immediately start reading it again.
