Why did Hamilton meet Burr in a fatal duel? He’d just thwarted Burr’s election as New York governor, and he was back at the helm of the Federalist Party, yet he responded to Burr’s taunt over a vague insult. Hamilton’s Choice delves beneath the usual historical explanations to reveal a deep, psychological and very personal reason that sent Hamilton, heedless of danger to himself and his family, to face death on the field of honor.

That Saint Kateri Tekakwitha was so saintly. For the longest time, I thought she was added to the Catholic canon to bolster the relations between accusatory leftists and millennia old ideologues. How wrong could I be!? The persecution and cultural turmoil that she set her face against, like flint, is remarkably told here. I have found a new friend, a new inspiration, and a new hope by reading this book… I hope you do, too.
