Alexander Hamilton
One of the most controversial men of his age, Alexander Hamilton was a gifted salesman brought down by the fatal flaws of stubbornness, extreme candor and arrogance. His life and career were marked by a stunning rise to power, scandal and tragedy. He had one of the most notorious love affairs of any public figure in American history and met his death in a startling act of political violence – the famous duel with Aaron Burr. But as the first Secretary of the Treasury, Hamilton led the transformation of the young country into a commercial and industrial powerhouse. The program profiles an underappreciated genius who laid the groundwork for the nation's modern economy.
