Product Description

It was my original intention to write a biography of Alexander Hamilton in a more flexible manner than is customary with that method of reintroducing the dead to the living, but without impinging upon the territory of fiction. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

2.0 out of 5 stars Credibility problem, February 19, 2005

By	Bomojaz (South Central PA, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This is a fictional biography of Alexander Hamilton. Atherton makes it obvious that much research went into the study of Hamilton's life here, but to make her hero even more heroic she distorts what she says about Jefferson, Madison and others, trashing them when they are at odds with Hamilton. Much of the dialogue is hard to believe.
