Young Hamilton Reviews
Flexner's great achievement is that he has written a life that even the most rabid Jeffersonian can applaud. Admiring and critical at the same time, Flexner scrutinizes his subject's early years to arrive at a daring but convincing portrait. . . . Each generation requires its own biographies of history's major figures, but for the time being it is hard to see how Flexner's Hamilton could be improved. * -Newsweek *
Every welcome to a volume which is fully up to the standard of literary elegance, psychological penetration, and historical scholarship that Mr. Flexner's massive life of George Washington has led everyone to expect. * -The Economist *
This is an admirable book, thoroughly researched, and nicely written. . . . Highly recommended for general collections. * -Library Journal *
