Publisher's summary

Acclaimed biographer Jean Fritz writes the remarkable story of Alexander Hamilton, one of America's most influential and fascinating founding fathers, and his untimely death in a duel with Aaron Burr.

Born in the British West Indies, Hamilton arrived in New York as an "outsider". He fought in the Revolution and became Washington's most valuable aide-de-camp. He was there with Washington, Madison, and the others writing the Constitution. He was the first secretary of the treasury as the country struggled to become unified and independent.

Fritz's talent for bringing historical figures to life is at its best as she shares her fascination with this man of action who was honorable, ambitious, and fiercely loyal to his adopted country.

A. Hamilton

Alexander Hamilton's story comes to life thru Jean Fritz's words. My two sons (12 & 14) and I enjoyed this book as a part of our American History study this year. I have already recommended it a couple of times to friends!

Adequate

This was a quick and easy read concerning Alexander Hamilton. The obvious comparison is with Chernow's biography, and considering it was 1/8th of the size, it did well to fit in the bare bones of the details of Hamilton's life.

Great Synopsis

Listened to it before attending the Broadway musical. Glad I did! I could follow the musical much better. A quick listen that hits all the key events.
