“Those who stand for
nothing fall for anything.
Men often oppose a
thing merely because they have had no agency in planning it,
or because it may
have been planned by those whom they dislike.
It’s not tyranny we
desire; it’s a just, limited, federal government.”
– Alexander Hamilton
I received a free digital
copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Since the successful musical, Hamilton, the story of Alexander
Hamilton’s life has become such a popular topic. Many fans of the musical want
to learn more about Alexander Hamilton and his work as one of America’s
Founding Father, including me. And though he was one of the most influential figures
in United States’ history, non-Americans is not too familiar with his life
story, unlike with the other Founding Fathers such as George Washington and Thomas
Jefferson. Now, author Jonathan Hennessey and comic book illustrator Justin
Greenwood bring Alexander Hamilton’s world to life. Through this graphic novel,
they tell the story of improbable hero who helped shape the United States of
America.
