*by W***L on Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2017*

Describes the civil insurrection in Western Pennsylvania against a Federal excise tax on distilled spirits imposed at the point of production.  The brainchild of Alexander Hamilton was intended to raise domestic revenue to pay national debts from the war for independence.  the tax aroused intense ire of small scale farmers and distillers who believed it constituted taxation without representation and discriminated against small scale Western interests.  The insurrection featured multiple lines of conflict:  across regions, economic classes, commercial interests, and debtor-creditor relations.  hogeland chronicles the breakdown in society reminiscent of the border states before and after the civil war.  Economic conflicts presage those of the Jacksonian and Populist eras of the 1830,s and 1890,s, respectively.  Hogeland affirms the Madisonian caricature of Hamilton as an ambitious militarist who favored wealthy Eastern creditors over small scale farmers, and was willing to manipulate an aging George Washington to achieve his goals.  The book is well researched and has an excellent annotated bibliography.  Unfortunately, it lacks footnotes so it is impossible to check specific assertions against specific documents.  I would recommend this book for anyone interested in the Federal period of American history or U.S. economic and class history.  The breakdown in civil society in the Pittsburgh resembles Thucydides’ description of class conflicts in Greek city states.

    Excellent Insight Into What Makes America Tick
  

*by R***L on Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2017*

Anyone interested in the founding of the United States should find this book engrossing. Thoroughly researched, well written and with deep insight into relatable people and the early years of the Republic, this work takes what history books typically dismiss as a minor uprising and explains how it might instead easily have become the undoing of the new United States and George Washington himself. Surprising elements include a self-appointed militia burning down the plantation of western Pennsylvania's most prominent slaveholder, how deeply the personal financial interests of George Washington himself were caught up in the Pittsburgh area and affected by the rebellion, and how that region and parts of Virginia agreed to form their own nation and created their own large army.The non-fiction narrative flows smoothly and builds characters in a way that keeps you wanting to know what happens next. Fast and fascinating read.

    Punching a hole in the cult of Alexander Hamilton...
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2019*

This is a well-written and timely history of the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794. President Washington led an army of over 13,000 men to suppress the revolt. At that time this was the largest single concentration of American armed forces. Hogeland does an excellent job at explaining the background to the revolt, and how it began with the raising of excise taxes in 1790 and 1791 by Secretary of Treasury Alexander Hamilton. He is very sympathetic to the demands of the frontier rebels, and makes no secret of his distaste for the machinations of Hamilton. Is the book biased? Yes, but openly so, and this makes for a good read.
