War of Two: Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, and the Duel that Stunned the Nation

byJohn Sedgwick

War of Two is John Sedgwick's biographical portrait of alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, and the Duel that Stunned the Nation. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the connected fields of biography & autobiography and history. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
