Who Was Alexander Hamilton? is a book about the life of Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton was a kid in the Caribbean who became a war hero and a Founding Father. Additionally, Hamilton was the first Secretary of the Treasury. He was eventually shot in a duel with Aaron Burr, who Hamilton criticized at a dinner party. 

I was interested in Who Was Alexander Hamilton? because I recently saw the musical Hamilton on Broadway, and I really enjoyed it. I was interested in learning more about Alexander Hamilton. I enjoyed this book because it explained a lot that the musical couldn't. I also like how the book has a section about the musical in the back, which I found very exciting. In conclusion, this was a great book.
