A Good Read!

Alexander Hamilton: A Life18 reviews
Willard Sterne Randall

Harper Perennial, 2004

Randall on Hamilton
Randall's book is exhaustive in its coverage of Hamilton's life, development and texture. But the result is skimpy coverage of his greatest contributions. Hamilton's finger prints are all over American political economy. Fascinating glimces into St Croix childhood and developing anthipathy for slavery. Women's rights, too. Interesting but exhausting detal about the Revolution: walked the ...

Little Revenge: Benjamin Franklin and His Son3 reviews
Willard Sterne Randall

Little Brown and Company, 1984

A masterful and overlooked book...
Being anxious to read more about Ben Franklin after finishing Walter Isaacson's new biography, I picked up A Little Revenge by Willard Sterne Randall. I was floored by this fabulous account of the complex relationship between Benjamin Franklin and his illegitimate son, William. Ben was one of the true geniuses of the 18th century. He was statesman, lobbyist, peacemaker, writer, printer, ... 		  
  







  
  
Thomas Jefferson: A Life21 reviews
Willard Sterne Randall

Harper Perennial, 1994

As biographies go this is one of the better ones I have read.
I particularly like this biography of Thomas Jefferson because it is written a manner that is easy and interesting to read. The author includes a few descriptive works to make the images come through. He will say, "On a cold morning in March Jefferson rode of to ...." Rather than just giving a date and destination. The author writes about Jefferson's travels in Europe telling us about the ...

Willard Sterne Randall

William Morrow & Co, 1990

Benedict Arnold: Patriot and Traitor
This book offers insight into the complex, controversial and ever-changing political landscape of the American Revolution. Benedict Arnold personifies the kaleidoscopic nature of loyalties, betrayals and intrigue prevalent during the War, circumstances much of which determined his course in life. In those days, most citizens were not revolutionaries but either loyalists or non-participants. ... 		  
  







  
  
Forgotten Americans: Footnote Figures Who Changed American History4 reviews
Willard Sterne Randall, Nancy Nahra

Da Capo Press, 1999

Worthy of Attention and Appreciation
It galls me, frankly, that the only claim to fame which most "celebrities" have today is their ability to attract attention to themselves and thereby become famous. I was stewing about that as I read this book, learning a great deal about several authentically remarkable Americans. Its title is somewhat misleading. Most of those discussed by Randall and Nehra have not been "forgotten"; rather, ...
