A graphic novel biography of Alexander Hamilton and guide to the Revolutionary War in America and the politics thereafter.

Why you should go find a copy of this when it comes out on August 8, 2017:

• Hennessey gives readers a well-research crash course on the history and politics of the islands of the Caribbean as well as colonial America, the Revolutionary War, and a few decades of US politics following the war to better understand Hamilton in his contexts. 
• It is loaded with quotes from primary sources and the illustrations will depict the person who said or wrote it.
• Greenwood gets lots of props for trying to make all the numerous historical figures introduced look like their historical selves. 
• You come away with a good understanding of both Hamilton and US history. (Heads up US History teachers, you probably want to check this out.)
• History comes alive in the graphic novel format with both text and illustrations.
• This is a great alternative for those who want to read about Hamilton because of his musical but get intimidated by Chernow's door stopper biography.
