This novel centers on the friendship between Alexander Hamilton and Peggy Schuyler, whom Alexander recruits to help him win her sister Eliza's affections, even while the tension and danger of war are foremost in everyone's lives. Entertaining and interesting, the story is steeped in Revolutionary War history and enriched with excerpted letters from the time. A lengthy afterword is appended. Bib.
