A complex man with great foresight - great writing. Ron Chernow presents a highly readable account of the life of a man who, despite living 200 years ago, still has a very tangible positive impact on our daily lives today. In his telling of Hamilton's story, Chernow has written a book that serves a dual purpose: it serves as an excellent historical biography that tells the story of a man and his time, at the same time, it helps the modern reader to understand the basic tenets of our fiscal and economic system in the United States. Alexander Hamilton is a fascinating and complesx character and Chernow's writing keeps you moving through the book at a good pace right through the epilogue. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys history or biography.
