The Jewish World of Alexander Hamilton - Andrew Porwancher - Bog

Bag om The Jewish World of Alexander Hamilton

"Porwancher [examines a string of beliefs] about the origins of this founding father to arrive at a startling theory: Hamilton ... was born and raised Jewish. For more than two centuries, his youth in the Caribbean has remained shrouded in mystery. Hamilton himself wanted it that way, and most biographers have simply assumed he had a Christian boyhood. With a detective's persistence and a historian's rigor, Porwancher upends that assumption and revolutionizes our understanding of an American icon. This radical reassessment of Hamilton's religious upbringing gives us a fresh perspective on both his adult years and the country he helped forge. Although he didn't identify as a Jew in America, Hamilton cultivated a relationship with the Jewish community that made him unique among the founders"--Publisher marketing.
