His manifest precocity, indisputable genius, ardent ambition, and captivating charm earned him the admiration and respect of many prorninent Americans of his day and marriage to one of New York's most socially prominent and richest families. The distinguished public career that Hamilton craved above all else he swiftly achieved, but the popular acclaim he also sought eluded him, and the feverish pursuit of it led to the famous "interview at Weehawken," in which he was mortally wounded by Aaron Burr. In this, the boldest reinterpretive biography in eight decades, Professor Jacob E. Cooke skillfully unravels the tangled threads forming the complex personality that was Hamilton. Professor Cooke perceptively uncovers a pattern of rash and self~defeating behavior that recurred time and again during Hamilton's meteoric career and that contributed to the hostility he incurred both contemporaneously and posthumously. A hallmark of this biography of the most famous secretary of the Treasury is its objectivity. Professor Cooke refuses to side with either of the two most prominent political gladiators in this nation's history~Hamilton and his great antagonist, Thomas Jefferson. Studiedly impartial, Professor Cooke instead shows how bogus and exaggerated the stormy differences between these two premiere American statesmen often were. In the process, he sheds new light on the still controversial and perennially fascinating history of the early and formative years of our national history. The storm center of American politics from the beginning to the end of his career, Hamilton was a man of rare genius and is a person of enduring historical importance. This biography is an absorbing and intriguing account of his public accomplishments and personal misfortunes.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 250 pages. Published in 1982. The author's breakthrough debut novel. Thomas Perry's finest achievement. The First Book Club Edition. Published in a small and limited one-time-only print run as a hardcover original only by special arrangement with Charles Scribner's Sons. There is no ISBN. The First Book Club Edition is now rare. Presents Thomas Perry's "The Butcher's Boy". His masterpiece. What is the secret of his success? Thomas Perry melds the best elements of the thriller genre, as if inventing suspense for the first time, to his genuine ability to create an authentic literary character (rather than a mere cipher of an archetype-hero), who comes to life, even if we never even learn his real name, normally the first rule of literary creation, and leaps off the words on the page. He then calls himself Michael Schaeffer, seemingly reformed and retired. But to his author and his fans, he will always simply be The Butcher's Boy, whom we root for as the righteous, athletic-precise, and near-infallible David to the Goliath called the Mafia. He succeeds in evading both his relentless pursuers and the just-as-dogged Justice Department. The gist of the Series is that as such, he finds himself (and his loved one) targeted and compromised continually, in successive decades, as he inevitably gets older and therefore somewhat weakened. The work of justice, whose atavistic essence is revenge, never ends because, in the real life that great fiction must reflect, evil never ever takes a brake. In "on-cue" ten-year intervals, Thomas Perry published "Sleeping Dogs", the sequel, in 1992, "The Informant", the third, in 2011, and "Eddie's Boy", the fourth, in 2021, the "summing-up" novel in the now-legendary Series. An absolute "must-have" title for Thomas Perry collectors. This title is a great novel in the thriller genre. This is one of few copies of the First Book Club Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. It is the single most beautiful copy of the edition we have ever seen. Please note: Copies of the First Edition available online have very serious flaws (because they have been read), are in multiple subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked yet command many hundreds of dollars, rightly so. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare copy thus. One of the most brilliant American novelists of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER THOMAS PERRY TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). no.
