History is context, and Big Government started here. This book unmasks the Federal Leviathan (both republican and democrat) that enslaves us from its source in Hamilton and the Federalists, which was greatly illustrated in particularly by the late reign of King George...Bush... and his invention of a Homeland Security government that seeks to supersede (federalize) state powers. (This will be Bush's legacy, the creation of a Monster Federal Government. This is what the Federalist Society, stacked with neo-republicans, is really all about).

"DiLorenzo exposes an uncomfortable truth: The American people are no longer the masters of their government but its servants."

DiLorenzo unmasks Hamilton as good as he did in The Real Lincoln, "The Great Centralizer" (as Walter Williams refers to Lincoln).

One book reviewer concludes with this about Hamilton:

If only Aaron Burr's bullet could have spared the man but killed his wicked ideas!
