Review # 1 was written on 2012-04-14 00:00:00 Hunter Sylvester Flexner's extensive study of George Washington made this Hamilton book a natural for him. Published in 1978, long before the current Hamilton mania, Flexner's book, in fact, focuses on the relationship between Washington and his brilliant, mercurial aide-de-camp. Hamilton's military service alongside Washington takes up the bulk of this biography, with the last decades of Hamilton's life relegated to the final chapter or so. I found Flexner's writing style to be quite charming, and he offers several perceptive comments about Hamilton's personality -- how it helped him both achieve and fail, and how it made him one of the most fascinating characters of the revolutionary generation.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-03-19 00:00:00 Christopher Fish A book that makes history interesting. I read it as part of a US History course and found that Hamilton was an interesting PERSON, despite all the politics. Despite coming from a seedy place, always unsure of himself and the love of others, he managed to be a strong hand in the development of America. Highly recommended.
