With all the calls to investigate the fed, I had a curiosity about how it got started which obviously began with Hamilton. This book is broken into 10 short focal points from Hamilton's life trying to help the reader understand the inner turmoils that shaped the man throughout his life. It was intriguing to read about the partisan struggles and party machinations that had begun almost immediately following the election of our first president. In many ways it was very familiar even contemporary.

It was easy to read, but sometimes I felt like Mr. Brookhiser took for granted the reader's background knowledge so that in a few instances there were transitions of events which I felt like I missed something.
