Summary
Explore the fascinating life of Alexander Hamilton!
Alexander Hamilton is one of the most extraordinary figures in American history. A deep thinker, a military leader, and a political dynamo, he was George Washington's right-hand man and perhaps the most important figure in the shaping of the Constitution. His policies and practices in government set the United States down a path of commercial wealth and economic stability. His ideas still resonate in the powerful nation he helped create.
During his time, Hamilton was a divisive figure. A political extremist who antagonized the conservative parts of the new republic while protecting its former opponents. The man at the heart of the nation's first major sex scandal. A political operator whose actions outraged opponents and eventually led to the duel that cost him his life.
It was an extraordinary life, made more extraordinary by Hamilton's origins. He was an outsider, an immigrant from the Caribbean who arrived in New York to make a new life for himself. In doing so, he helped to shape the framework of politics and commerce in America. In retrospect, the amazing thing about his fame is not its recent resurgence, but that it took so long for him to be widely recognized.

This was a fairly simplistic presentation Alexander Hamilton it was easy to read it but not in a great amount of detail. Indeed a great book for refreshing your memory of Hamilton's life. It is to the point and a very easy read!

Alexander Hamilton is the least founding. I have been penetrating for a precise book of Alexander Hamilton and after a long search; I have lastly found this one! I like how Hamilton view or has a different viewpoint about banking and money because his mother is a single parent.

A bit basic.
Any additional comments?
Honestly unsophisticated biography, it’s my personal opinion. Detail are decent but not much else. No annotations or explanation to speak of.

Love the writing style.
Would you consider the audio edition of Alexander Hamilton: A Captivating Guide to One of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America to be better than the print version?
I always love to listen books instead hard copies.
Any additional comments?
Each American should need to learn about our founding fathers and how our nation was built so I esteemed the outline. It was written in a non-conventional way with lots of phrases.
