I actually got this book from a store, but I've been buying up Founder books on Amazon left and right in my quest to earn a self-awarded M.A. in Poli Sci, and, for some odd reason, I decided I have the right to critique this one, too, especially because I'm a little irate about this particular work. This was an impressive and troubling read. It's exceptionally well written and covers Hamilton's life with such color and detail that I was enthralled through the first half. And then I began to feel this grating sensation, and finally I came to realize it was because the writer bears such rabid personal animosity toward Jefferson that after a hundred pages or so of unrelenting, really vitriolic attacks on the man (maybe biographers just get that way...no, not all of them), I began to lose faith in his overall objectivity as a biographer.To wit: where Hamilton was "brilliant," "a true American genuis," "inspired," almost super-human in his ability to crank out brilliant, fully formed essays, the other indispensable founder, a man of towering logic and foresight, a man for whom "I told you so" became a mantra, etc., etc., virtually every word and/or action by Jefferson was deemed "effrontery," "outrageous," "had the temerity to," and on and on, truly ad nauseum. Everyone knows Jefferson had personal flaws, hypocrisy, sly political ways (as did Hamilton), and particular trouble around slavery, for which he did express much guilt. But Chernow has apparently decided T Jefferson was absolutely the most vile, dishonest, unethical mucus-coated slug-creature ever to ooze out of the political soil.Where Hamilton created a genius system of big banks, etc. (the results of which we're perhaps starting to reassess these days), when Jefferson oversaw a surplus in his first term as president, Mr. Chernow called it "an accident." I mean, come on, the guy had a few fans, and Hamilton certainly had more than his share of enemies. Another fact to consider: Jefferson has the big old monument by which we remember him (not to mention the Declaration and the Louisiana Purchase, which I suppose were accidents, too), while Hamilton has...the Grange and, to some degree, too-big-to-fail. Are the American people so easy to delude? The bias was so thick that I finally, sadly, felt the need to skip about 100 pages, jumping over Hamilton's post-administration period to just before the duel, because I found it so difficult to tolerate the outrageous effrontery and temerity of the writer, attacking this fellow founder with such venom and petulance, apparently because Hamilton and Jefferson didn't get along and the writer reveres Hamilton to the point of beatifying the man. This is the book's fatal flaw, in my opinion. Childishness that sullied scholarship. An impressive work otherwise, though the Jefferson bias really has me wondering how accurate the rest of it is. And all of this pisses me off, by the way, because I really wanted to get a thorough understanding of Hamilton and now have a hole in my reading, and I have way too many other presidents and political leaders to pursue and so I won't be going back to Alexander again, may the gods bless his troubled soul. Dammit.Okay...feeling better now.
This book is a beautifully rendered portrait of Hamilton, both his public life and his private life. As so many other reviewers have noted, the book is an example of first-rate biographical research and most of the book is well-written.Up to chapter 16, “Dr. Pangloss,†the story is superbly told. But, when Thomas Jefferson enters Hamilton’s life, much of the book becomes a contrast between Hamilton, who had his own well-documented personal failings, with Jefferson who, if the text is to be believed, had nothing but personal failings. Jefferson is variously described as hypocritical, duplicitous and conniving. Undoubtedly, Jefferson fit much of this description but so did Hamilton in their Federalist-Republican (anti-Federalist) feud in the 1790’s. What bothered me was the unrelenting negative portrayal of Jefferson, Madison (after 1790) and John Adams. Hamilton is portrayed accurately and fully as a brilliant and decent man with some major flaws. Jefferson and, to a somewhat lesser extent, Madison and Adams, are portrayed as deeply flawed individuals who happened to have a few good points. The language reinforces this. If one were to count the negatively loaded adjectives and verbs accorded to Hamilton’s three main opponents, they would vastly outnumber any positive linguistic connotations. In order to sharpen Hamilton’s character portrayal, the image that Chernow gives of Hamilton’s opponents is, given other biographies of these men, less than just.The name-calling, smear campaigns and character assassinations in the 1790’s are appalling (but less so given the 2016 Presidential campaign). However, a dozen years after independence and only a few years after the Constitution was ratified, the fears of the anti-Federalists were real ones. Jefferson’s and Madison’s hypocrisy and the foibles of John Adam’s personality notwithstanding, the concerns expressed were often genuine ones at that time about what kind of country the United States would be and how the Constitution should be interpreted. The possibility that the Jeffersonians may have had a point gets lost in Chernow’s constant barrage of claims about duplicity, hypocrisy and malevolent intentions.So I thought this was a brilliant portrayal of the man who founded our economic and, to a large extent, our political system. The portrayal of Aaron Burr is excellent and the factors leading up to the duel are gripping. But the mid-section of the book would have been even stronger if Chernow had presented Hamilton’s foes in a fuller, less negatively charged light.
