Duel

Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, and the future of America

de Thomas J. Fleming

"Through the lives and ambitions of Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, the author transports us into the post-revolutionary world of 1804, a chaotic and fragile period in the young country and a time of tremendous global instability. Compressing his narrative into the final year of Hamilton's life, Fleming, with a tragedian's sense of the inevitable and an historian's eye for new and startling insights, recounts the dramatic events that led up to Hamilton and Burr's fateful, fatal encounter."--BOOK JACKET.
