It is amazing to learn about someone's childhood, and the events throughout their life that shape them into the very person which they become. Alexander Hamilton had an unusual upbringing which motivated him throughout his life, and I found it fascinating to learn about the trials and tribulations, and the tenacity of this very important founding father. His success as Secretary of the Treasury, and his distinction as a leader and aide-de-camp to Washington, will reveal the great capacity and integrity of this man. Also, along with learning the fate of Hamilton, this book will also show how our country was shaped, and how our government system came to be. You will also have peeks into the lives of: Adams, Jefferson, Madison and Washington, whom had consequential impact on the future of our country. If you enjoy American history, this book will not disappoint you.

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. It gives a fair and balanced view of the great man. Although Chernow uses some very difficult words, I would reccomend this to anyone.

There is not much I can add to the other effusive reviews. This really is as good as biography gets. If you are a fan of McCullough and Ellis, you will love this book. Perhaps even more. I did. This is a near-800-page page-turner, that I simply could not put down. It is the best of the modern Founding Father biographies. And while you might differ if you are, say, a Jeffersonian, no matter your political perspective, you will inevitably find yourself saying "wow." I bought multiple copies in hardcover and gave them to all in my family.

The book arrived as advertised, and the content was as advertised, too. Have read much about Hamilton, it's a shame the congressmen/women and wall streeters haven't done that. As our Premier Banker he saw most of the future ills that we have created with worthless paper, worthless stocks, backed by terrible credit loans, along with no gold standard. I also enjoyed reading about the Founders and their struggles to give us what we cavalierly pour down the drain. The wall street mess, only from a 1700's perspective, makes woeful reading. Whenever there is Market trouble, I ask my stock jobber friends to read.."Extraordinary Delusions and the madness of Crowds." They never do. There will be a John Law in every generation.

Ron Chernow's biography of Alexander Hamilton is as fun to read as any work of fiction. Chernow's style is readable, but elevated enough to do justice to his topic. He touches upon all aspects of Hamilton's life: his amazing and tragic youth, his military exploits during the Revolution, the development of his broad intellect, and his turbulent political career.
If the book has a fault, it is that Chernow is too obviously biased against Jefferson in describing the enmity between the two men.
Anyone seeking to understand the origins of American government and politics should read this book.
