Alexander Hamilton: Founding Father is the story of one of America’s great founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton. The book is a detailed account of this very important but controversial figure in American history. The story is a “classic rags to riches” one and begins with his childhood in the British West Indies. Though his life is filled with tragedy and he is very poor, Hamilton manages to distinguish himself through his writing and his business skills. Eventually, he leaves the West Indies and immigrates to North America where he receives a first rate education. Later, he becomes a hero in the Revolutionary War and is appointed to be General George Washington’s right hand man. Because of his service to Washington, Hamilton becomes the Secretary of the Treasury when Washington is elected President. As a member of the new government, Hamilton makes significant contributions including setting up a banking system and a currency system which are still used today. He also plays a major role in the ratification of the United States Constitution. While Alexander Hamilton: Founding Father primarily focuses on Hamilton’s great contributions, it also presents his dark side. Though Hamilton married a wealthy woman and became a member of the aristocracy, he was also involved in a scandalous affair and ultimately died in a duel defending his honor.

World’s best disguised pile of garbage

World’s best disguised pile of garbage
Two pages into the first chapter, the errors begin. A new record. Well done, Mr.Steinberg.I do not recommend this book. My first grader can write a better book than this. I can’t believe this even has 3.5 stars. Hamilton is rolling in his grave in disbelief that this clown of an author managed to screw up summarizing his story that so many others have already written.

I like this version of Hamilton, its just enough info to get that Disney channel Broadway mockery out my mind. Incredible man. War hero. Declaration signer, party leader, writer, prideful, bad quickdraw.

I enjoyed reading this book. I learned a lot about Alexander Hamilton. The book covered his entire life. This book explains a man that made a huge impact on our society, in a short well written book. It's amazing what you can learn when you take the time to read into someone's life, especially someone as important to history as this. One of the reasons I picked this book up was a desire to become more familiar with Alexander Hamilton. Not only is Hamilton left behind by the other founding fathers who would one day ascend to the presidency, but he is also over-looked as the only non-native major player in our country's founding.
Mark Steinberg does an excellent job in fanning an inquisitiveness that is only natural in regard to such a multi-faceted man. Highly recommended piece, and very well translated.

this book has bad grammar and typos! as a student in high school i cannot take a failing grade due to the books poor facts. Please consider getting additional people to read your draft before putting it onto amazon, good facts, but some are not useful. read 2 pages and found an error. Saying Mary got remarried, then saying Hamiltons mom divorced him! like it's not just little things like spelling errors, but i was confused at some points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also the print is very big, so it may be 200 pages but there is not that many facts :<<

A good introduction to one of America's foremost Founding Fathers. A good start that should lead to a more detailed study for those who want to dive deeper.

4.0 out of 5 stars The admirable life of Alexander Hamilton.

I enjoyed reading the historical life of Alexander Hamilton particularly during his early years. A story about a young man born into poverty who migrates to the United States and then become one of the most important citizens in the country- rags to riches it is. I may say that he is one of the founding fathers who have a very challenging and interesting life. The book has a full coverage of his life and contributions that have had lasting effect on the development of the county. I had a good time exploring his life through this book. I like how the author gathered all the important information about Alexander Hamilton; it is very detailed and surprising. I am fascinated with this book.

Indeed most Alexanders are greatly known throughout history however Alexander Hamilton is often missed out or not given attention to. So for a change I grab a history book and it took me back to my History Class introducing me to important personalities like him and was thrilled to know how relevant his contribution to US specially in banking and currency system which is still widely used today. He even ratified the United States Constituton and aside form his great contribution Steinberg also detailed how he is widely respected by the people surrounding him. What I like is that the biography doesn't only focused on the positive aspects of Hamilton but as well his downfalls on his life which made him who he is today admired by people looking up to his great contributions in US country.He is quite controversial which made my read very interesting. Nice read took me back to History.

This is an incredibly poorly written book. For the price, I wasn't expecting much, but it doesn't live up to my lowest expectations. The first chapter contains factual error, confused facts and syntax, and this gem, "Hamilton instantly took Burr as his model. Who wouldn't?" Or this "Opportunity knocked in the form of a hurricane. A hurricane? Yes, a hurricane." I could not get past the first chapter, even though it promised, "Just as in his early years, there were people with whom he had strong relationships that helped to shape his life. The next person to do this was George Washington. That is the subject of the next chapter." I think I could get better information from Wikipedia. So sorry I wasted my money on this.
