Alexander Hamilton

Hopelessly too long. This book displays a bias towards Hamilton and his ideas that seem to prejudice any other figures and ideas of the time. It is obvious that a tremendous amount of research went into the writing of this book. It is tragic that Ron Chernow, a master wordsmith, displays his talents by talking over you instead of conveying his ideas. I found the subject matter and the book interesting but it did lull at times as Ron dwelled on trivial points. For my money I would recommend the abridged version.
