Books by Ron Chernow

Ron Chernow is an American biographer whose works have won the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award. His biographies of Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, and Ulysses Grant are among the most widely read in American popular history. Grant, published in 2017, received the Pulitzer Prize for Biography in 2018. Chernow spent five years researching the book and worked with the Ulysses S. Grant Presidential Library, which contains extensive primary source material not previously available to scholars. He has described Grant as his most unexpected subject — a man whose reputation required the most substantial revision.
