UNIQUE: looks at Hamilton’s programs from the perspective of Hamilton’s contemporaries, using primary sources. In late 1789, what would the man who cornered Secretary Hamilton in a tavern, or the woman who sat across from him at a dinner party, tell Hamilton he urgently needed to fix? How did Ham-ilton’s programs address those crises? And what made those programs so useful that the programs remained in place long after the crises of the 1780s and 1790s were resolved?
VIVID: Like a novel, history is more gripping if it’s told with dialogue rather than third-person exposition. This book provides historical context and then, as often as possible, lets Hamilton and his contemporaries speak for themselves.
Appendixes 1-3 include Hamilton’s major policy papers, broken up with outline headings for easier reading (pp. 193-354).
