For the complete story of Hamilton, one of the Nation's greatest heros and Founders, be sure to read Ron Chernow's wonderful biography, "Alexander Hamilton." It is a terrific book and an eye opener about the Founders and their problems with each other. Both Jefferson and Madison were his enemies and did really awful stuff in the press to undermine Hamilton (sorta like Kerry vs. Bush, maybe?). Anyway, read it and be enlightened.
It's on my list. So many books so little time.
Robert Hendrickson's biography is also marvelous and Forrest MacDonald's the best summary of his financial program that I have seen. There are many good ones not all favoring Alex.
