ebooks General Lee's Army: From Victory to Collapse by Joseph Glatthaar in History

Description

Alexander Hamilton is one of the least understood; most important; and most impassioned and inspiring of the founding fathers. At last Hamilton has found a modern biographer who can bring him to full-blooded life; Richard Brookhiser. In these pages; Alexander Hamilton sheds his skewed image as the "bastard brat of a Scotch peddler;" sex scandal survivor; and notoriously doomed dueling partner of Aaron Burr. Examined up close; throughout his meteoric and ever-fascinating (if tragically brief) life; Hamilton can at last be seen as one of the most crucial of the founders. Here; thanks to Brookhiser's accustomed wit and grace; this quintessential American lives again.
