Alexander Hamilton: The Pen and the PulseFrom a penniless Caribbean orphan to the indispensable architect of the American machine, Alexander Hamilton’s life was an improbable, explosive, and defining journey for the new United States. Born an outsider on the island of Nevis, Hamilton’s illegitimacy instilled in him a relentless drive to prove his merit through intellectual and professional excellence.
