About Hamilton By The Slice: Falling In Love With Our

Review: "The world loves George Washington, and Washington loved Alexander Hamilton. The reasons stand out loud and clear as you read this insightful book. I recommend Hamilton by the Slice to any busy person who wants to understand Hamilton, an extraordinary American Founder who played a pivotal role in shaping the new United States." -John Ferling, award-winning historian and author of the recently published The Ascent of George Washington: The Hidden Political Genius of an American Icon Product Description: This book was suggested 200 years ago by Gouveneur Morris, founding father and co-author of the Constitution of the United States. Morris delivered the eulogy at Hamilton's funeral after he was killed in a duel by Aaron Burr in 1804. The nation was in shock at its loss, and Morris was under pressure to help the people grieve for their loss yet not incite a riot from the barely controlled mourners. At the end of his eulogy, Morris challenged his fellow citizens always to measure their conduct by this test: "Would Hamilton have done this thing?" Hamilton by the Slice lets the reader know what Hamilton did. Its simple alphabetical format offers easy access to Hamilton's essential views. And its short stand-alone chapters allow for quick reading. This is a book for busy people who want to know more about one of Americ's most remarkable men with an eye to making their own lives better! Review: "If you want to think like a great person, you must know how great people think. Bill Chrystal picks quotes that exemplify how and what this brilliant General (Hamilton) thought about a wide range of subjects. I recommend this to anyone who wants to get ahead in life." -Lt. Gen. Samuel V. Wilson, U.S. Army (Ret.), President Emeritus, Hampden-Sydney College
