Pressestimmen
"...[N]obody has captured Hamilton better than Chernow..." —The New York Times Book Review"...[A] biography commensurate with Hamilton's character, as well as the full, complex context of his unflaggingly active life.... This is a fine work that captures Hamilton's life with judiciousness and verve." —Publishers Weekly"A splendid life of an enlightened reactionary and forgotten Founding Father. Literate and full of engaging historical asides. By far the best of the many lives of Hamilton now in print, and a model of the biographer’s art."—Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)"A robust full-length portrait, in my view the best ever written, of the most brilliant, charismatic and dangerous founder of them all." —Joseph J. Ellis, author of Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation"A brilliant historian has done it again! The thoroughness and integrity of Ron Chernow’s research shines forth on every page of his Alexander Hamilton. He has created a vivid and compelling portrait of a remarkable man—and at the same time he has made a monumental contribution to our understanding of the beginnings of the American Republic.” —Robert A. Caro, author of The Power Broker and The Years of Lyndon Johnson"Alexander Hamilton was one of the most brilliant men of his brilliant time, and one of the most fascinating figures in all of American history. His rocketing life-story is utterly amazing. His importance to the founding of the new nation, and thus to the whole course of American history, can hardly be overstated. And so Ron Chernow's new Hamilton could not be more welcome. This is grand-scale biography at its best—thorough, insightful, consistently fair, and superbly written. It clears away more than a few shop-worn misconceptions about Hamilton, gives credit where credit is due, and is both clear-eyed and understanding about its very human subject. Its numerous portraits of the complex, often conflicting cast of characters are deft and telling. The whole life and times are here in a genuinely great book." —David McCullough, author of John Adams

Wenn ich mein Jahr mit einem Wort beschreiben sollte, wäre es wohl "Hamilton". Die historische Figur kannte ich zwar, jedoch nur sehr vage - bis mir von einem Freund permanent das Musical von Lin Manuel Miranda empfohlen wurde. Irgendwann konnte ich mich nicht mehr wehren und hörte mir die Stücke an, was mein musikalisches Leben stark veränderte. Mittlerweile kann ich jedes Lied auswendig, doch das reichte mir nicht. Ich wollte mehr über Alexander Hamilton und sein Leben erfahren, denn nur ein Musical kann es natürlich nicht genau wiedergeben. Deshalb bin ich bei der offensichtlichsten Wahl angelangt, "Alexander Hamilton" von Ron Chernow.Das Buch ist aktuell nur in englischer Sprache verfügbar, was für mich zwar kein Problem ist. Andere sollten sich jedoch bewusst sein, dass aufgrund der historischen Aufarbeitung der Person gute Kenntnisse benötigt werden. Dann aber wird man hier genau das finden, was man möchte. Vom Start, einer kleinen Einführung durch das Leben der älteren Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, über das gesamte Leben eines bemerkenswerten Mannes. Ron Chernow schafft es dabei die Details so darzulegen, dass man unbedingt weiterlesen muss und sich gar keine Pausen gönnen will. Das wird zwar aufgrund der Länge schwer, dennoch verschlang ich das Buch. Hier erhält man dann auch eine genauere Aufarbeitung einiger Themen, die im Musical verschönt wurden. Gerade seine Aktivitäten im Krieg werden hier derart ausführlich aufgearbeitet, dass man noch mehr Respekt vor dem Mann erhält. Auch seine Beziehung mit anderen historischen Figuren, allen voran Aaron Burr, ist stets interessant und interessant dargestellt. Dabei stört es gar nicht, dass Chernow gerne abschweift und vom Thema abkommt, denn das tut er genau an den Stellen, an denen man als Leser mehr von den Umgebenheiten hören möchte. Der Schreibstil unterstützt das, denn trotz vieler Details ist das Thema nie zu trocken. Tatsächlich entwichen mir sogar mehrfach die Tränen, und das ganz ohne lyrische und musikalische Unterstützung von Lin Manuel Miranda."Alexander Hamilton" von Ron Chernow ist ein Buch, das jeder lesen sollte, der sich für amerikanische Geschichte interessiert. Alexander Hamilton war wirklich eine besondere Person, sowohl in seinen Sternstunden als auch in den Momenten, in denen er gravierende Fehler beging und selbst zur Schattenfigur wurde. Eine perfektere Aufarbeitung seines Lebens gibt es nicht, weshalb ich gerne fünf Sterne vergebe und das Buch definitiv an jeden weiterempfehle, der die Ohrwürmer des Musicals nicht mehr herausbekommt.
Ron Chernow’s “Alexander Hamilton†is an extensive, thorough examination of a life extraordinary in itself and to the nation. The personal saga of an illegitimate Caribbean youth from a broken family who learned several languages, business in the trading houses, relocated to New York, and obtained an education is inspiring enough. From there he became an aide to George Washington during the Revolution, promotor of the Constitution, proto-Secretary of the Treasury who set the Federal government on the road to an independent financial basis and America toward industrialization before falling out of favor and ending his life on the dueling grounds at Weehawken, New Jersey.Hamilton’s life took many turns. His attachment to George Washington was his ticket to success and influence. His marriage to Elizabeth Schuyler, a daughter of one of the most prominent families in New York, drew him into the political elite. His unfailing hard work made him a success at law, the military and politics. Hamilton was a man of contradictions. Though a devoted family man he was likely duped into the first major sexual scandal in American politics. A self-made man of aristocratic pedigree but impoverished beginnings, he was publicly portrayed as a spokesman for privilege by men more privileged than himself. A tough negotiator for American interests against Britain, he was pilloried as an advocate of an American crown for one of George III’s sons. A Principal author of the Federalist Papers, he was suspected of harboring ambitions of establishing a military despotism. A skilled negotiator, a series of blunders removed him from the center of political action and led to his death.This work is very long and introduces the reader to many events and issues in the life of Hamilton and the early Republic. In addition to the tale of its subject, these pages also say much about Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Aaron Burr and other characters in our early national drama. I have heard this book criticized as too long and too and detailed. It is long but I think that its tasks justify the length. Completion of this tome does require commitment to persevere to the end, but it is worthwhile. I found it thorough, but not overly detailed. I recommend this to anyone with a serious interest in Alexander Hamilton and the early days of American Independence.
Alexander Hamilton - is there much I need to say about this man that you don't already know? Thanks to the musical "Hamilton" - a large part of the world is more familiar with him than ever. But in case you aren't - here is a quick recap: Orphaned boy whose mother was from Nevis and father who was Scottish. He was brought to America by a cousin and eventually ended up with a merchant family. He was known as an intellect from an early age. He studied at Kings College (which is now Columbia) and became a lawyer. He married Eliza Schulyer and they had 8 children. He worked very closely with George Washington, and fought on the front lines of the battle with Britian. He wrote the federalist papers. He cheated on his wife. His eldest son died in a duel. And then Alexander died in a duel with Andrew Burr at the age of 49.That about sums him up. Just kidding. That barely scratches the surface, so you should read the book. All 900 pages of it. The author very much idolizes Hamilton, and paints just about every other founding father as people who did everything wrong. Hamilton was no saint. He was brilliant - no doubt - but no saint. He was hot tempered and a womanizer. He spent long amounts of time away from his wife and children chasing battles and defending his Federalist papers. You do wonder - had he lived - what else he might have accomplished.It is going to be winter soon. If you are like us and need to hunker down to get through the cold, wet, snow driven months, then this would be a good book to pass your time.
