What is the author's tone in the biography, Alexander Hamilton?

Ron Chernow divides his biography, titled Alexander Hamilton, into 45 consecutive, linear, and chronological chapters, including a Prologue and an Epilogue focusing primarily on Eliza Hamilton. The prologue begins with Eliza in her late nineties, near death, and speaks about how Eliza has spent the last 50 years defending the memory of her dead husband. The ensuing 43 chapters span the time from the early 1700s through the early 1800s, dealing with Hamilton’s family’s background, his own illegitimate birth, his rise to Secretary of the Treasury, and his downfall and duel. The chronological and structured approach to the biography allows readers to follow Hamilton’s life step by step, and event by event. Along the way, Chernow offers contextual information, and often interrupts the narrative to provide analysis or pass judgment. The Epilogue traces Eliza’s life after Hamilton’s death, and also speaks about what becomes of their children and Hamilton’s reputation.
