Hamilton’s Choice Review by the Historical Novel Society
“In Hamilton’s Choice, attorney Jack Casey asks us to consider why, with his political future never more promising, a new home just built and a loving family of eight to support, would Alexander Hamilton choose to face Aaron Burr’s pistol at ten paces? In doing so, he offers his own, quite plausible theory as to what brought Alexander Hamilton to his famous, fatal encounter at Weehawken. The characters are vivid, as is Casey’s portrayal of the tensions within the Hamiltons’ marriage. The dialogue is sharp, and….[i]n his acknowledgments, Casey informs us that this novel was started 37 years before its publication. I’d say it was worth the time.”
