It covers his service as George Washington’s aide, his combat command at Yorktown and his central role in advocating a stronger federal union.
The biography examines the Federalist Papers, the creation of the national financial system and Hamilton’s conflicts with Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr. His political ideas, personal controversies and death in a duel are placed within the difficult formation of the early republic.
