Meticulously researched and brilliantly composed, this biography contains 731 pages of text and covers Hamilton’s entire life: from his tantalizingly chaotic early years to his untimely death at the age of forty-nine. But not only does Chernow’s narrative of this intriguing Revolutionary-era figure surpass lofty expectations, it may well set the standard for the nearly perfect biography. It was a New York Times best-seller and served as the inspiration behind Lin-Manuel Miranda’s award-winning musical “Hamilton.” Chernow is the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning “ Washington: A Life.” His most recent biography “ Grant” was published in 2017.įew books come with higher expectations than this biography of America’s most brash, self-assured and hyperkinetic Founding Father. Ron Chernow’s “ Alexander Hamilton” was published in 2004 and remains one of the most popular biographies of all time.
