On a July morning in 1804, Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton, once allies, now bitter foes, meet on a New Jersey cliff. Their duel is the climax of a fierce rivalry. As they stand ready to fight to the death, the stakes are high: honor, legacy, and survival. Only one will walk away, but the echoes of their conflict will resonate through history.

From the publisher
In the early morning hours of July 11, 1804, two men stood facing each other on a New Jersey cliff side. One was the U.S. vice president, Aaron Burr, and the other was Alexander Hamilton, the secretary of the treasury. They were ready to fight to the death for honor.
These Founding Fathers, once friends and colleagues, had become the bitterest of enemies. After years of escalating tension, Burr had finally challenged Hamilton to a duel. In the end, only one man survived, but their infamous rivalry lives on.
