Probably no American statesman displayed more constructive
imagination than did Alexander Hamilton. Prodigal of ideas,
bursting with plans for diversifying the economy, and obsessed by a
determination to make the United States a powerful nation under a
centralized government, he left an imprint upon this country that
time has not effaced. Alexander Hamilton and the Growth of the New
Nation is the premier biography of Alexander Hamilton written by
one of the foremost scholars of early American history.
Hamilton's career was at times contradictory: born, in John
Adams's words, the "bastard brat of a Scotch peddler," he rose to
high social, political, and military position in the newly born
country. He dreaded divisiveness, yet his strate-gies and actions
aggravated political sectionalism. Miller weaves together the
complex facets of Hamilton's life to make a vivid, absorbing
biography.
