TIME introduces the Heroes of History series--life stories of
extraordinary Americans, illustrated in full-color.
Think you know everything about Alexander Hamilton? Think again! The
original immigrant success story brought to life in the musical
Hamilton is every bit as amazing and controversial now as it was in
the 18th century. TIME tells the whole story of the nation's first
Secretary of the Treasury--a founding father with a complicated and
ultimately tragic story that didn't end with the duel in Weehawken.
Young adult readers ready to look beyond the Who Was series deserve a
collection of biographies all their own with the details, nuance, and
depth they crave. With dozens of reproductions of artworks, artifacts
from the period, photographs, and illustrations created to bring the
subject alive, this first book in the new series, Heroes of History,
captures the quintessential immigrant success story and brings his life
and chaotic, revolutionary times into fresh focus.
