Praise for War of Two: Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, and the Duel that Stunned the Nation“John Sedgwick has done a great thing here: He has painted a compelling and original portrait of a defining American rivalry… The Burr Hamilton saga has at last found a chronicler commensurate with its epic scope and lasting impact.” –John Meacham
