Kaplan clearly demonstrates that while Alexander Hamilton revered British political institutions, this by no means meant that he was prepared to endorse or accept British policies. Like his great enemy, Thomas Jefferson, Hamilton believed that 'the survival and prosperity of the United States rested on independence from the great powers of Europe.' Kaplan by no means ignores Hamilton's flaws, but his analysis convincingly shows us that Hamilton was indeed an 'ambiguous anglophile.' -- Bradford Perkins, University of Michigan\u003cbr\u003eFrom Kaplan's years of scholarly immersion in the foreign policy of the early Republic comes a masterpiece of clarity and insight into one of its most controversial framers. Alexander Hamilton: Ambivalent Anglophile is a fresh and long-overdue appraisal that distills the insights of an eminent scholar. The dean of historians in his field, Kaplan has captured the essence of Hamilton's personality and place in the strife-torn issues of foreign policy. -- Peter Hill, George Washington University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 Preface Chapter 2 Chronology Chapter 3 The Rise of a Wunderkind Chapter 4 The War as Opportunity, 1775-1782 Chapter 5 Toward the Constitution, 1782-1789 Chapter 6 Secretary of the Treasury, 1789-1791 Chapter 7 To the Jay Treaty, 1790-1794 Chapter 8 Behind the Scenes, 1795-1798 Chapter 9 General Manque, 1798-1800 Chapter 10 Epilogue Chapter 11 Bibliographical Essay Chapter 12 Index","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49528175001943,"sku":"9780842028783","price":46.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780842028783.jpg?v=1731870673","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/alexander-hamilton-ambivalent-anglophile-biographies-in-american-foreign-policy-9780842028783","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
