Title: Where was the editor?
Review: This is the best bio I have read since Ellman's Joyce. However, it is more entertaining than scholarly.I agree that at times the author is biased---presenting the Federalist side as pragmatic and the anti-Federalist (ie. Jefferson) side as half-cocked. Often Chernow is presumptious, ie., speculating in rhetorical fashion if Hamilton frequented the bawdy areas around his college. There are errors in grammar: the South and the North are written in the lower case; and he is often too strident in trying to impress with language---he calls the myriad deaths of the immediate family members of Aaron Burr, "gruesome."
