Greg Grandin is the Peter V. and C. Vann Woodward Professor of History at Yale University and is the author of a number of prize-winning books, including "The End of the Myth: From the Frontier to the Border Wall in the Mind of America," which won the Pulitzer Prize for Non-Fiction. Other books include "Empire’s Workshop: Latin America, the United States, and the Making of an Imperial Republic," first published in 2005 and significantly revised and expanded in 2021, and "Kissinger’s Shadow: The Long Reach of America’s Most Controversial Statesman." "The Empire of Necessity: Slavery, Freedom, and Deception in the New World," which won the Bancroft Prize in American History. Released in early 2014, "The Empire of Necessity" narrates the history of a slave-ship revolt that inspired Herman Melville’s other masterpiece, a short story titled “Benito Cereno.” Toni Morrison called this book a “deft penetration into the marrow of the slave industry… brilliant.” Maureen Corrigan on NPR’s Fresh Air named "The Empire of Necessity" as the best book of 2014. Grandin’s "Fordlandia: The Rise and Fall of Henry Ford’s Forgotten Jungle City" was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in History, as well as for the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award. His most recent book "America, América: A New History of the New World," was a New York Times Bestseller.
