FROM THE CRITICS
David Herbert Donald - New York Times Book Review
What Mr. McDonald's book does, with exceptional skill and learning, is to reexamine Hamilton's policies as Secretary of the Treasury. To this task the author brings a masterful knowledge of the politics of the period... Finally, Mr. McDonald... gives the clearest exposition that I have ever seen of just what Hamilton's financial policies were and how they worked.
