Product Description
Review
"This superb collection of essays goes a considerable distance towards... restoring an American statesman to the central place that he occupied in his own time." PAUL A. RAHE, author of Republics Ancient and Modern "Using Hamiltonian lenses to look into the larger spheres of thought and action in the early republic is the goal of the authors in The Many Faces of Alexander Hamilton, and, to a large degree, they succeed." JOURNAL OF THE EARLY REPUBLIC"
Product Description
Revolutionary War officer, co-author of the "Federalist Papers", our first Treasury Secretary, Thomas Jefferson's nemesis, and victim of a fatal duel with Aaron Burr: Alexander Hamilton has been the focus of debate from his day to ours. On the one hand, Hamilton was the quintessential Founding Father, playing a central role in every key debate and event in the Revolutionary and Early Republic eras. On the other hand, he has received far less popular and scholarly attention than his brethren. Who was he really and what is his legacy? Leading Hamilton scholars, both historians and political scientists alike, present fresh evidence and new, sometimes competing, interpretations of the man, his thought, and the legacy he has had on America and the world.

A Must Read For Those Interested in The Founding Fathers, May 2 2006
By layne - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Many Faces of Alexander Hamilton: The Life and Legacy of America's Most Elusive Founding Father (Hardcover)
This crisply written volume of eleven essays by leading Alexander Hamilton scholars provides an excellent reading experience for any person interested in the founding years of the United States. The essays are well documented and present new scholarship and a clearer understanding about the centrality of Hamilton throughout the founding period of the U.S. The beauty of the book comes from the clarity of writing and information conveyed, while not glossing over the debates still surrounding Hamilton and his many legacies.
