Hamilton’s Choice: Jack’s Latest Novel

Jack’s new novel, Hamilton’s Choice, offers a new and convincing motive for why Alexander Hamilton met Aaron Burr in his fatal duel.  Historical explanations never made sense to Jack, an attorney and former political leader, so he revisited primary sources and wrote this fast-paced novel to dramatize the compelling, subconscious motive that drove Hamilton to risk his life and the future of his large family to quiet his conscience and redeem himself from a great shame.

Above, Jack and Victoria Wright met Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Ron Chernow when Mr. Chernow received the Empire State Archives & History Award for his 2004 Hamilton biography.
