They faced-off in America’s most famous duel and star in Lin Manuel Miranda’s breakout Broadway musical Hamilton!, soon to come to the small screen. But what really prompted the sitting Vice President of the United and the former Treasury Secretary to settle their differences with guns blazing? Rick Beyer, author of Rivals Unto Death, explores the intricate thirty-year rivalry that led to their deadly encounter, following them through battlefields, courtrooms, bedrooms (!) and arguably the wildest presidential election in history — all the way to their day of destiny in Weehawken New Jersey.
