…i dont know a better one

there are definitely others, like flexner’s biography is one of the more commonly cited ones, but if you want information to fill in the gaps, its chernow all the way. you have to tolerate his fucking ATROCIOUS personality, but all the information is there. there are only a few things he gets wrong, but they’re minor details about other historical figures besides the ones he focuses on.

ive also heard good things about forrest mcdonald’s bio of him, but i haven’t read it. chernow’s is the only one ive read, the rest of my knowledge has just been accumulated through other sources.

ofc im going to recommend George Washington’s Indispensable Men by Arthur S. Lefkowitz, which has a lot of information on hamilton and is overall a better read.

i think flexner’s is much better, i’ve read both his and chernow’s (and a few others, but if you already have a base level of information and you’re trying to fill gaps, they’re probably not worth the read!) he’s (imo) much more respectful and much less biased.
