Laddar... Alexander Hamilton: A Biographyav Forrest McDonald
Laddar...
Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Forrest McDonald is one of my favorite historians. He wrote extensively on the Early Republic time period over his long career. Despite the fame of the Chernow biography of Hamilton, McDonald's older work is, in my humble opinion, a better one.

The founders of the American republic were ardently concerned with the judgment of posterity. Had they known what a fickle muse Clio would prove to be, they might have been more anxious. The making of myths and legends, complete with a hagiology and demonology, is inherent in the process of evolution toward nationhood. Consequently, individual actors in the original drama have often been consigned by History to roles they did not actually play, and the most important of them have played shifting roles, being heroes in one generation and villains in the next. It is therefore not surprising that Alexander Hamilton--along with Washington, Jefferson, Adams, and Madison--has had his ups and downs at the hands of historians.
