History of Jews

A great book on Jewish history, and the best I’ve ever read is God, Jews, and History by Max Dimant

Alexander Hamilton

That's right. He was the first Sectretary of the Treasury. Aaron Burr, the man who killed Hamilton in a duel had been Vice President, but Hamilton was never Vice President.
