Sedgwick’s War of Two, like Chernow’s great biography, has depths and details that the musical [Hamilton] cannot match
Gordon Wood, The New York Review of Books
[A] lively, wide-ranging and immensely readable book. The world of War of Two is often more personal than political, an intimate portrait of Hamilton and Burr as they plunged toward their fatal collision
The New York Times
John Sedgwick has done a great thing here: he has painted a compelling and original portrait of a defining American rivalry. A story of ambition, conviction, and finally of bloodshed
Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power
In crisp, lively prose, the author presents evenhanded and insightful profiles of two highly intelligent, driven men with substantial flaws and very different characters . . . [An] entertainingly irreverent account of two consequential men from the dawn of the American republic
Kirkus Reviews
John Sedgwick rescues the most famous duel in history from musty mythology and gives us a richly textured, spirited, absorbing tale of yearning, rivalry, and pathos. War of Two reads like the Great American Novel—but it’s all true
Evan Thomas, New York Times bestselling author of Being Nixon: A Man Divided
