西印群岛小伙儿长成美国国父应该是最猛第一代移民故事了吧?这种勤奋强大且野心勃勃的人生太让人心生向往。配合辩论制宪会议记录那本阅读体验极佳(另:莫名喜欢Rochambeau伯爵这个名字的读音)
评分不知是不是因为先入为主,这本我认为会是Chernow最佳的作品的确是其代表作,可以说无处不好。

评分能给6星吗.
评分又是一部杰出的传记,全面深刻地展示了汉密尔顿这一位伟大的美国建立者的一生。他所建立的金融体系至今影响着美国乃至世界。他的复杂的人格魅力令人折服,他的经历更令人动容。尽管作者对他有着明显的偏爱,但仍然看出汉密尔顿的缺点是他没能在残酷无情的政治现实中生存下来的最大原因。另外美国的党争有时也蛮荒谬和可笑,当下川普和民主党之争算不得新鲜事,哪怕发生了第二次内战也不会令我吃惊了,读罢更想读其他建国者的故事,尤其是汉密尔顿的宿敌-老谋深算并有着过人才华的杰弗逊。总之这是我读的最快的英语长篇,可想而知作者的文笔十分地出彩。
Ron Chernow was born in 1949 in Brooklyn, New York. After graduating with honors from Yale College and Cambridge University with degrees in English Literature, he began a prolific career as a freelance journalist. Between 1973 and 1982, Chernow published over sixty articles in national publications, including numerous cover stories. In the mid-80s Chernow went to work at the Twentieth Century Fund, a prestigious New York think tank, where he served as director of financial policy studies and received what he described as “a crash course in economics and financial history.”
Chernow’s journalistic talents combined with his experience studying financial policy culminated in the writing of his extraordinary first book, The House of Morgan: An American Banking Dynasty and the Rise of Modern Finance (1990). Winner of the 1990 National Book Award for Nonfiction, The House of Morgan traces the amazing history of four generations of the J.P. Morgan empire. The New York Times Book Review wrote, “As a portrait of finance, politics and the world of avarice and ambition on Wall Street, the book has the movement and tension of an epic novel. It is, quite simply, a tour de force.” Chernow continued his exploration of famous financial dynasties with his second book, The Warburgs (1994), the story of a remarkable Jewish family. The book traces Hamburg’s most influential banking family of the 18th century from their successful beginnings to when Hitler’s Third Reich forced them to give up their business, and ultimately to their regained prosperity in America on Wall Street.
Described by Time as “one of the great American biographies,” Chernow’s Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr. (1998) brilliantly reveals the complexities of America’s first billionaire. Rockefeller was known as a Robber Baron, whose Standard Oil Company monopolized an entire industry before it was broken up by the famous Supreme Court anti-trust decision in 1911. At the same time, Rockefeller was one of the century’s greatest philanthropists donating enormous sums to universities and medical institutions. Chernow is the Secretary of PEN American Center, the country’s most prominent writers’ organization, and is currently at work on a biography of Alexander Hamilton. He lives in Brooklyn Heights, New York.
In addition to writing biographies, Chernow is a book reviewer, essayist, and radio commentator. His book reviews and op-ed articles appear frequently in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. He comments regularly on business and finance for National Public Radio and for many shows on CNBC, CNN, and the Fox News Channel. In addition, he served as the principal expert on the A&E biography of J.P. Morgan and will be featured as the key Rockefeller expert on an upcoming CNBC documentary.
From National Book Award winner Ron Chernow, a landmark biography of Alexander Hamilton, the Founding Father who galvanized, inspired, scandalized, and shaped the newborn nation.
Ron Chernow, whom the New York Times called "as elegant an architect of monumental histories as we've seen in decades," now brings to startling life the man who was arguably the most important figure in American history, who never attained the presidency, but who had a far more lasting impact than many who did.
An illegitimate, largely self-taught orphan from the Caribbean, Hamilton rose with stunning speed to become George Washington's aide-de-camp, a member of the Constitutional Convention, coauthor of The Federalist Papers , leader of the Federalist party, and the country's first Treasury secretary. With masterful storytelling skills, Chernow presents the whole sweep of Hamilton's turbulent life: his exotic, brutal upbringing; his brilliant military, legal, and financial exploits; his titanic feuds with Jefferson, Madison, Adams, and Monroe; his illicit romances; and his famous death in a duel with Aaron Burr in July 1804.
For the first time, Chernow captures the personal life of this handsome, witty, and perennially controversial genius and explores his poignant relations with his wife Eliza, their eight children, and numberless friends. This engrossing narrative will dispel forever the stereotype of the Founding Fathers as wooden figures and show that, for all their greatness, they were fiery, passionate, often flawed human beings.
Alexander Hamilton was one of the seminal figures in our history. His richly dramatic saga, rendered in Chernow's vivid prose, is nothing less than a riveting account of America's founding, from the Revolutionary War to the rise of the first federal government.

评分——读罗恩•切诺的《汉密尔顿传》 2006年美国《大西洋月刊》评选了对美国影响最为深远的100名美国人(前十名见文后),本书的传主汉密尔顿名列第五,是前五名唯一未就任过总统一职的人物。尽管最高的行政职位只是华盛顿政府的财政部长,汉密尔顿依然可以排名至第五,他的影...
评分1、内容详实、有根有据 2、褒贬皆有,非伟光正 春节放假基本看完,给予五星评价。不过书中看到3个错误,有人名换错地方,是编辑的问题。 主要针对米国的三杰进行了分析 华盛顿: 稳重——死板 沉默——内向 理性——冷酷 克制——矫情 有容人之量——利用他人 锲而不舍——固...
评分没有想到这本书网友评价如此之高。真是感觉又光荣又惭愧。 这本书是我2005年刚从LSE留学回来时候翻译的。那个时候我刚加入竞天公诚律师事务所几个月,正逢司法考试复习假期(我们律师事务所不成文的规矩),上海三联书店的编辑王笑红问我想不想翻译一下这本书。我当时正好复习...
