Excellent view of a remarkable but overlooked hero Chernow's insight into the character and motivations of Alexander Hamilton can't help but make the reader wonder what America might have been like had his life not been tragically cut short by someone else's selfishness, although Hamilton's manner of death is yet another testament to his character. The honor code of the day demanded no less of a gentleman. Could Hamilton have been a president? Might he have steered the country in an entirely different direction? Unfortunately, we'll never know, although, thanks to Chernow, we have a reminder for future generations of the positive motivations politicians used to have.
