This was an interesting text about some of the founding fathers and their feuds. From the most famous - Hamilton and Burr to Ben Franklin and his son this book gave brief accounts of the history behind the feuds and how they turned out. Unfortunately I think the brevity of the text made things a bit unclear. In some cases too much time was spent on the history of the person (Washington and Hamilton) and not enough time on the actual disagreement (Hamilton and Burr). For a student studying any one of these feuds the text is a good introduction but they will need and want more.
