One of the most distinguished commentators on history, politics, and business in America today, Ron Chernow has won virtually every major prize in American letters. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has hailed him as “one of the pre-eminent biographers of his generation.” Chernow's seven books have illuminated the life and times of some of America's most significant historical figures including Washington: A Life, winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Biography and the widely acclaimed Alexander Hamilton, inspiration for the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical Hamilton. His most recent book, Grant, is considered the definitive biography of one of our most compelling presidents. In 2015, Chernow was awarded the National Humanities Medal for "bringing our Nation's story to life." Chicago Tribune publisher and editor-in-chief Bruce Dold joins Chernow in conversation.
