• Exellent Bio
  An excellent biography on the most convertersial, and one of the most important, founding fathers. The book covers nearly every aspect of Hamilton's life and shows how brilliat he really was.

• The Best of the Founding Father Biographies

  If the book has a fault, it is that Chernow is too obviously biased against Jefferson in describing the enmity between the two men.
