What is the narrator point of view in the biography, Alexander Hamilton, Revolutionary?

The biography is told in the third person point of view, focusing primarily on Alexander’s life and his involvement in the Revolutionary War and the creation of the nation to follow it. However, the author occasionally moves the point of view to a wider scope in order to address issues and events that Alexander was not a part of, but that related to his story. For example, during the Revolutionary War, the author takes the reader temporarily into the stress of Washington’s life and his anxious moods at home in order to set up why Alexander later removed himself from his position as one of Washington’s aides. A second example is much later in the biography, where the author spends a paragraph describing the rebellion in France so that the reader understands what battles the United States may soon have to face internationally. The author says, “the revolution in France had taken a disturbing turn. Louis XVI, who’d helped the Americans in their revolution, was beheaded to the thundering of drums on January 21, 1793…” (247). Both of these events were not something that Alexander was directly involved in, but both were important to understand in the context of politics, which Alexander was a major part of.
