About
Ronald Gruner founded and served as the chief executive of three successful technology firms over his forty-year career. Taken from his business experience, Gruner published We The Presidents in 2022.
We The Presidents is a non-partisan presidential history which explores how the policies of American presidents over the last century from Warren G. Harding to Donald J. Trump have affected America, and the world, today.
The author took a similar approach with his second book, COVID WARS. Rather than ideology, Gruner objectively discusses how America’s divided public health policies affected COVID death rates, personal freedoms, and the national economy.
Gruner's latest book, Short Essays for Inquiring Minds, is composed of over fifty essays, ranging across science, history, politics, economics, and popular culture written in a style that one reviewer described as having “a touch of Ken Burns and more than a touch of sardonic wit.”
Gruner lives with his wife, Nancy, in Naples, Florida where he is a consistently poor golfer.

We the Presidents: How American Presidents Shaped the Last Century
Rather than a traditional presidential history, We the Presidents focuses on a century of presidencies from Warren G. Harding to Donald J. Trump and how their presidencies have shaped today's America, and the world. Many of today's critical issues, including immigration, inflation, income disparity, civil discord, and the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, all had their roots in earlier presidencies. We the Presidents is more than an absorbing listen; it is a great education on the issues which have shaped the American century up to the present day when democracy, both in America and around the world, faces yet another crucial test of its resilience and strength.
