Over the course of his distinguished historian career outside of the DoD, Phillip Thomas Tucker, Ph.D, has published more than 30 books, including Alexander Hamilton’s Revolution: His Vital Role as Washington's Chief of Staff.
Alexander Hamilton’s Revolution examines the unique and often overlooked role the revered American politician played during the Revolutionary War. The only notable founding father not born and raised on American soil, Hamilton is best known for his work as Secretary of the Treasury under America’s first political leader, President George Washington. However, as Alexander Hamilton’s Revolution illustrates, this young native West Indian established himself as Washington’s preferred staff officer and spending four years at headquarters as Washington’s Chief of Staff during the nation’s battle for independence.
The book additionally chronicles Hamilton’s desire and fierce ambition to make a more distinguished name for himself as a field officer leading troops on the battlefield, which he did in magnificent fashion with a significant victory over General Cornwallis at the Battle of Yorktown in October 1781. Alexander Hamilton’s Revolution (Skyhorse Publishing) can be purchased from most major book distributors.
