Amazing Chernow should get a Pulitzer for this baby! I'm a big fan of George Washington (yes, I know he's dead), so if one really wants to understand the Washington presidency, one needs to understand Hamilton. I have not read much about Hamilton other than what was included in books on Washington, so Chernow's book offers a much needed focus on Washington's right-hand man. The assumption plan, funding plan, and the creation of the national bank are crucial components in the success of the new Constitutional government. Hamilton was the brain and will-power that made it all happen. I still can't believe they shot him!
