A deep thinker, a military leader, and a political dynamo, he was George Washington's right-hand man and perhaps the most important figure in the shaping of the Constitution. His policies and practices in government set the United States down a path of commercial wealth and economic stability. His ideas still resonate in the powerful nation he helped create.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring his time, Hamilton was a divisive figure. A political extremist who antagonized the conservative parts of the new republic while protecting its former opponents. The man at the heart of the nation's first major sex scandal. A political operator whose actions outraged opponents and eventually led to the duel that cost him his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was an extraordinary life, made more extraordinary by Hamilton's origins. He was an outsider, an immigrant from the Caribbean who arrived in New York to make a new life for himself. In doing so, he helped to shape the framework of politics and commerce in America. In retrospect, the amazing thing about his fame is not its recent resurgence, but that it took so long for him to be widely recognized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first part of this book tells the story of Alexander Hamilton.
