Alexander Hamilton tells the inspiring story of a poor orphan who grew to become one of the most intelligent, ambitious, and influential people in American history.

Despite being a hugely influential figure in American history, Alexander Hamilton has not always gotten the credit he deserves.

Ron Chernow's biography provides an in-depth exploration of Hamilton's life, examining how an orphan from the Caribbean made a name for himself in American history.

This book has since become a critically-acclaimed bestseller, as well as being adapted by Chernow and playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda into the hit Broadway musical Hamilton.

Today, Alexander Hamilton's name is known across the world as both a historical figure and a cultural phenomenon.
