Ron Chernow was born in 1949 in Brooklyn, New York. After graduating with honors from Yale College and Cambridge University with degrees in English Literature, he began a prolific career as a freelance journalist. Between 1973 and 1982, Chernow published over sixty articles in national publications, including numerous cover stories. In the mid-80s Chernow went to work at the Twentieth Century Fund, a prestigious New York think tank, where he served as director of financial policy studies and received what he described as “a crash course in economics and financial history.”

Chernow’s journalistic talents combined with his experience studying financial policy culminated in the writing of his extraordinary first book, The House of Morgan: An American Banking Dynasty and the Rise of Modern Finance (1990). Winner of the 1990 National Book Award for Nonfiction, The House of Morgan traces the amazing history of four generations of the J.P. Morgan empire. The New York Times Book Review wrote, “As a portrait of finance, politics and the world of avarice and ambition on Wall Street, the book has the movement and tension of an epic novel. It is, quite simply, a tour de force.” Chernow continued his exploration of famous financial dynasties with his second book, The Warburgs (1994), the story of a remarkable Jewish family. The book traces Hamburg’s most influential banking family of the 18th century from their successful beginnings to when Hitler’s Third Reich forced them to give up their business, and ultimately to their regained prosperity in America on Wall Street.

Described by Time as “one of the great American biographies,” Chernow’s Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr. (1998) brilliantly reveals the complexities of America’s first billionaire. Rockefeller was known as a Robber Baron, whose Standard Oil Company monopolized an entire industry before it was broken up by the famous Supreme Court anti-trust decision in 1911. At the same time, Rockefeller was one of the century’s greatest philanthropists donating enormous sums to universities and medical institutions. Chernow is the Secretary of PEN American Center, the country’s most prominent writers’ organization, and is currently at work on a biography of Alexander Hamilton. He lives in Brooklyn Heights, New York.

In addition to writing biographies, Chernow is a book reviewer, essayist, and radio commentator. His book reviews and op-ed articles appear frequently in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. He comments regularly on business and finance for National Public Radio and for many shows on CNBC, CNN, and the Fox News Channel. In addition, he served as the principal expert on the A&E biography of J.P. Morgan and will be featured as the key Rockefeller expert on an upcoming CNBC documentary.

From National Book Award winner Ron Chernow, a landmark biography of Alexander Hamilton, the Founding Father who galvanized, inspired, scandalized, and shaped the newborn nation.

Ron Chernow, whom the New York Times called "as elegant an architect of monumental histories as we've seen in decades," now brings to startling life the man who was arguably the most important figure in American history, who never attained the presidency, but who had a far more lasting impact than many who did.

An illegitimate, largely self-taught orphan from the Caribbean, Hamilton rose with stunning speed to become George Washington's aide-de-camp, a member of the Constitutional Convention, coauthor of The Federalist Papers , leader of the Federalist party, and the country's first Treasury secretary. With masterful storytelling skills, Chernow presents the whole sweep of Hamilton's turbulent life: his exotic, brutal upbringing; his brilliant military, legal, and financial exploits; his titanic feuds with Jefferson, Madison, Adams, and Monroe; his illicit romances; and his famous death in a duel with Aaron Burr in July 1804.

For the first time, Chernow captures the personal life of this handsome, witty, and perennially controversial genius and explores his poignant relations with his wife Eliza, their eight children, and numberless friends. This engrossing narrative will dispel forever the stereotype of the Founding Fathers as wooden figures and show that, for all their greatness, they were fiery, passionate, often flawed human beings.

Alexander Hamilton was one of the seminal figures in our history. His richly dramatic saga, rendered in Chernow's vivid prose, is nothing less than a riveting account of America's founding, from the Revolutionary War to the rise of the first federal government.

由本书改编的古装音乐剧,在16年选举之年激起的狂潮,犹如前几年话剧《蒋公的面子》的国内知识分子中引起共鸣的放大版,归根结底是由于多少有点借古讽今的作用吧。详见汉密尔顿剧组在16年选举日几天后,演毕,主角掏出一张纸,在现场对副总统彭斯致辞—— “我们——先生——...

没有想到这本书网友评价如此之高。真是感觉又光荣又惭愧。 这本书是我2005年刚从LSE留学回来时候翻译的。那个时候我刚加入竞天公诚律师事务所几个月,正逢司法考试复习假期(我们律师事务所不成文的规矩),上海三联书店的编辑王笑红问我想不想翻译一下这本书。我当时正好复习...

1. 整体观感: 用汉密尔顿的个人经历作为主线,将美国历史从波士顿倾茶事件到国家建立的历史串起来。 2. 幼年的汉密尔顿是没落的苏格兰贵族的私生子,母亲又在12岁病逝,13岁就开始自力更生。 正是这种经历,让汉密尔顿年纪轻轻就懂得很多,并且具有很深的思想。 3. 他的命运转...

1、内容详实、有根有据 2、褒贬皆有,非伟光正 春节放假基本看完,给予五星评价。不过书中看到3个错误,有人名换错地方,是编辑的问题。 主要针对米国的三杰进行了分析 华盛顿: 稳重——死板 沉默——内向 理性——冷酷 克制——矫情 有容人之量——利用他人 锲而不舍——固...

17年才意识到LMM的剧就是改编自同一本传记。(好吧,我萌这本书的时候还没有那部剧什么事……)虽然LMM的剧很棒,但是大多数文采还是要归功于Chernow老。忠实切诺粉。(我要去看摩根财团了再见。)

评分

不知是不是因为先入为主,这本我认为会是Chernow最佳的作品的确是其代表作,可以说无处不好。

成功在看剧前完成了这个大工程!作者对AH非常真情实感了我喜欢。对这种人格无法抵挡:crazily talented,shamlessly opinionated,对人类又极度悲观。前面看得很爽(像Act 1),直到他当上财长后很长一段时间都是,包括白手起家靠一支笔建立整个财税体系,比听剧的时候震撼太多。TRWIH那章也太好看了!华盛顿退下来之后就一下子变了,一个曾经那么耀眼的人失去光彩,甚至改变对移民的态度,看得蛮难过的。受到作者偏爱的影响,也许不公正地十分反感Jefferson、Madison、Adams了。

评分

太好看了,看完一声长叹。明白林漫威为什么度假时拿起就放不下,Ham和他身上那种宁愿燃尽自己也要不断前进不断超越自身的精神真的完全一致。哇,真的是it's better to burn out than to fade away 对这样的人真的是只有惊叹和敬畏

评分

推荐。汉密尔顿的史诗一生,美国建国初期的狗血政治。 不会去看音乐剧《汉密尔顿》。
