Coming from a colorful but somewhat murky background, Hamilton is renowned for political battles that shaped this nation, notably one over the national banking system. His personal life was filled with turmoil--romantic affairs were in the fore. Hamilton pressed his philosophy and ideals with brilliance, all the while maneuvering those around him for his own political and career advantage. He was admired, loved, and hated. With Gardner's sprightly reading and Ron Chernow's careful research and clear storytelling, this captures our minds and emotions, if not entirely our sympathy. Vivian Berg, Mandan, ND
