By: Captivating History

Narrated by: Duke Holm

Explore the captivating life of Aaron Burr and his duel with Alexander Hamilton.

Based on his early achievements, Aaron Burr, Jr., should have become an obscure but respected figure in American history. An officer in the Continental Army, a high-flying lawyer, and an influential politician, his career peak was becoming the third vice president in US history.

Any additional comments?

Burr may be the key to understanding that whole period. Also had some very interesting insights on the role of land speculators - they were as sleazy as their current descendants (real estate speculators)

Enlightening

After hearing the detailed political rivalry between Burr and Hamilton, I came to the conclusion that this man is more than a villain. He is worth the study and this book provided enlightenment to many aspects.

Good one

I have no remarkable insights about Aaron Burr, but the protagonist in our history class. Yes, I used to hate him as I remember the duel taught by our history teacher back then. This summary guide has helped me understand his actions although I can’t say if I already like him. Well done, publisher! For coming up with an excellent piece.
