ADAPTED INTO THE AWARD-WINNING BROADWAY MUSICAL, HAMILTON.

The riveting life of Alexander Hamilton, an illegitimate, largely self-taught orphan from the Caribbean who overcame all the odds to become George Washington's aide-de-camp and the first Treasury Secretary of the United States.

Few figures in American history have been more hotly debated than Alexander Hamilton. In this masterful work, Chernow shows how the political and economic greatness of America today is the result of Hamilton's willingness to champion ideas that were often wildly disputed during his time. He charts his titanic feuds with Jefferson, Adams, Madison, Monroe and Burr; his highly public affair with Maria Reynolds; his loving marriage to his loyal wife Eliza; and the famous and mysterious duel with Aaron Burr that led to his death in July 1804.

The book was adapted into a hugely successful Broadway musical – nominated for a record 16 Tony awards – which opens in London’s West End in September 2017.

Quotes

  • Мария Калининаhas quoted7 years ago
    Hamilton was an exuberant genius who performed at a fiendish pace and must have produced the maximum number of words that a human being can scratch out in forty-nine years.
  • Мария Калининаhas quoted7 years ago
    “If the sword of oppression be permitted to lop off one limb without opposition, reiterated strokes will soon dismember the whole body.”
  • Мария Калининаhas quoted7 years ago
    Alexander Hamilton never needed to worry about leading a tedious, uneventful life. Drama shadowed his footsteps.
