Ron Chernow’s celebrated series of major American political biographies has followed Hamilton with Grant, a magisterial examination of the political, military, business and literary lives of one of America’s most underappreciated presidents. He talks to Chris Hayes, host of MSNBC’s All in with Chris Hayes, and author of A Colony in a Nation, about the man, who was not only a brilliant military strategist, but a far more important president than had been previously recognized, seeking freedom and justice for black Americans and working to crush the Ku Klux Klan.
