ALEXANDER HAMILTON: Ron Chernow
ALEXANDER HAMILTON
by Ron Chernow
This is the last book you would expect to be the basis of a Tony Award winning musical. But Ron Chernow's Alexander Hamilton is almost as catchy as the famed production. This is a book that manages to capture the sights and sounds of Revolutionary America, as well as the mercurial founding father Alexander Hamilton. His duality, drama, stubbornness and economic ideals are still welded into the spine of the United States. The Hamilton Chernow portrays was young, scrappy and hungry and he wasn't about to throw away his shot at history.
