Chernow’s nonfiction spans more than three decades, from “The House of Morgan” (1990) through his forthcoming biography of Mark Twain. Each book is a deep dive into its subject, running hundreds of pages and drawing on primary sources to reconstruct lives and eras in detail.
His subjects share a common thread: they are figures whose ambitions and actions helped shape the United States. Whether writing about banking dynasties, revolutionary statesmen, or military leaders, Chernow brings the same commitment to narrative clarity and historical accuracy.
