About
The book explores the unlikely but pivotal alliance between two of America’s founding figures, George Washington and Alexander Hamilton. In the aftermath of the American Revolution and amid the fraught early years of the young republic, Washington and Hamilton — despite their very different backgrounds and worldviews — forged a partnership that helped create the institutions of the United States and steered the nation through its earliest crises. The authors argue this collaboration was fundamental in shaping the emerging American political system and influencing the country’s path toward becoming a global power.
“Stephen Knott and Tony Williams offer a splendid joint biography of America's founding statesmen — the crucial duo that forged a national constitutional republic … from a revolutionary war … to the Constitution that endures to this day.” — Law and Liberty“This readable narrative successfully describes the ways in which the ‘indispensable alliance’ between Washington and Hamilton was a significant factor in America's founding.” — Library Journal
“Williams and Knott’s thesis — that Washington and Hamilton built the institutions that led to the United States emerging as a superpower in the 20th century — adds a new angle to the enduring public fascination with the founding fathers.” — Publishers Weekly
