A signer of the Constitution and author of roughly two-thirds of the Federalist Papers, Hamilton became the first secretary of the treasury at the age of 32. In this capacity, Brookhiser argues that the scrappy Caribbean native gave birth to American capitalism by developing the country's financial system. Brookhiser also reveals the sex and violence of Hamilton's life: he survived personal scandal but was shot down by Aaron Burr in an 1804 duel. The end came too soon for Hamilton--and it also helped elevate the reputation of his nemesis, Thomas Jefferson. Alexander Hamilton: American is by turns learned, funny, and inspiring. A model of popular biography, it convinces us why we should care deeply about a remarkable man who lived two centuries ago. --John Miller ]]> 1999 3 0 false Sat Aug 16 08:22:18 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 16 08:32:54 -0700 2008 more...]]> 62614046 833142 89306 0684863316 9780684863313 15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171151335m/89306.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171151335s/89306.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/89306.Alexander_Hamilton_American 3.47 70 Alexander Hamilton is one of the least understood, most important, and most impassioned and inspiring of the founding fathers.
