About the author
Ron Chernow is an American historian and biographer whose books connect private character to finance, political institutions, and public power. His subjects include banking dynasties, industrial fortunes, and major figures of the American founding.
The House of Morgan and The Warburgs are multigenerational financial histories. Alexander Hamilton and Washington: A Life place the same command of money, institutions, correspondence, and reputation inside large single-life biographies.
