Gore Vidal's BURR is a masterpiece and essential reading for anyone interested in early American history. Since history is written by the victors, it's fascinating to explore the other side of history through the eyes of one of the vanquished. Aaron Burr's story is complex, and he himself has complex stories to tell about his fellow Founding Fathers of the paradoxical nation claiming to be 'united' states. For fans of HAMILTON or anyone keen to explore the complexities of the birth of a nation born of the Enlightenment, BURR demands to be read. It's also highly entertaining -- loads of fun. A classic!
