Alexander Hamilton, Revolutionary by Martha Brockenbrough
4.0
This Hamilton biography is not nearly the slog that the Chernow one is, but it is still dense and involves a time-commitment. Don’t count on finishing it in a matter of a couple days.
In addition to accessible but still challenging text, Brockenbrough provides excellent backmatter to help readers better understand the time period.
What stands out the most in this Hamilton biography is what a man of principle he was, which was ultimately his hamartia, losing his life in a duel to his political rival, Aaron Burr.
