"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.
