Publisher's summary

Alexander Hamilton started his life in the British West Indies. His story seems like a classic tale from rags to riches, of a poor boy whose hard work and perseverance allowed him to become one of the greatest historical figures of a nation. Alexander Hamilton left behind an impressive legacy, in no small part due to his success in defining the economic and political systems of the United States.

You’ll hear about...

  • The Orphan of the Caribbean
  • The New Boy in New York
  • A Revolutionary for Washington
  • A Commanding Critic and a Man of the Constitution
  • A Titan of the Treasury: Reports
  • A Titan of the Treasury II: The Two-Party Tango
  • A Flawed Man Through and Through
  • Resignation, the Reynolds Affair, and Wounds

And much more!

Hamilton’s Federalist Papers continue to be the basis for Constitutional interpretation and court decisions throughout the nation, and his creation of a national bank and decision to support a strong federal power over states’ power helped lay the groundwork for what could be considered a national issue over a state issue. However, his reputation wasn’t always so golden. These volumes offer a fuller picture of the life of Alexander Hamilton and the various factors that combined to make the life of such a driven, intriguing man.

Great historical biography.

Great insight into the political intrigue in our nation’s earliest days. Hamilton was a flawed genius. This book explains his contributions as well as his foibles. Strongly recommended.

Best informative.

A short compact look at Mr. Hamilton. Will drive you to learn more about this very complicated, very intelligent, little known founding father of Anerica's banking system.

Excellent

I consider that history books talk on behalf of many people who had made a great contribution for humanity.
I’m so glad, because it’s been a good practice in order to perform a better reading comprehension and to enrich myself with new vocabulary.

Just Fascinating!

An incredible biography of Alexander Hamilton, one of the most productive brilliant minds of the early year in the US republic. In the end chapters one of the most dramatic books that I ever listen.
