His historical novels are great reads, for their irreverent take on American history, esp the novels 1876 and Burr. Burr esp, in the wake of recent Hamilton-mania, should be interesting, and also for the very swift manner in which revolutionary idealism gave way to political expediancy after the establishment of the republic, none of the major figures including Washington and Jefferson, Hamilton come across as good human beings in the final analysis.
