Arthur S. Lefkowitz is an independent historian whose books tackle offbeat but interesting subjects that present a research challenge. His previous books are Eyewitness Images from the American Revolution, Benedict Arnold in the Company of Heroes: The Lives of the Extraordinary Patriots Who Followed Arnold to Canada at the Start of the American Revolution, TheAmerican Turtle Submarine: The Best-Kept Secret of the American Revolution, Benedict Arnold’s Army: The 1775 American Invasion of Canada during the Revolutionary War, George Washington’s Indispensable Men, and The Long Retreat: The Calamitous Defense of New Jersey, 1776. He lives in central New Jersey.
By focusing on the wartime exploits of Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, Arthur Lefkowitz draws back elusive curtains which for generations shaded the historical validity and reach of their fame. His fast-moving, lucid narrative takes the two men from the battlefield in their early twenties through the lasting impact of personal contacts with senior Army leaders, most notably George Washington. The author has provided a must read gift for all historians and interested readers of the American Revolution.
