![]() ![]() ![]() Chernow is a masterful writer and has an ability to make what could be dry and dusty facts come alive. With Chernow getting much praise for his Alexander Hamilton and then his Grant I thought to stick my feet into the older end and see what all the fuss was about. This book had been recommended to me from various sources as one of THE biographies to read, along with Robert Caro’s book Power Broker (which has yet to leave the dent it made on my desk when I dropped it there). My first taste of his writing was in Titan: The Life of John D. He is famed for his deep dives into his subject, digging up facts that other authors, sometimes many other authors, missed or ignored. Ron Chernow is one of today’s great biographers. LAMP/Library of Accessible Media for Pennsylvanians ![]()
