Hamilton: The Revolution gives readers an unprecedented view of both revolutions, from the only two writers able to provide it. Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jeremy McCarter, a cultural critic and theater artist who was involved in the project from its earliest stages - "since before this was even a show," according to Miranda - trace its development from an improbably performance at the White House to its landmark opening night on Broadway six years later. In addition, Miranda has written more than 200 funny, revealing footnotes for his award-winning libretto, the full text of which is published here.
