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 & 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 & 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 & Burr; his highly public affair with Maria Reynolds; his loving marriage to his loyal wife Eliza; & the famous & 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

When Peter Stothard, editor of the Times Literary Supplement, finds himself stranded in Alexandria in the winter of 2010 after his flight to South Africa has been cancelled, he sets out to explore a nation on the brink of revolution.
