Thanks AD Vids. I've read several of his books. Seen many interviews. He was a wonderful man and humble.

[@advids5572]

Thanks again for watching. Yes he was great. The author, Stephen Ambrose, also.

[@SueProv]

@@advids5572 I'll check him out.

[@davidmorrison-io4co]

Charlie needs to let his guest answer his questions. He constantly interrupts, cuts his guest off, etc. Very informative and worth every minute.

[@tagmisterb]

Watching the McCullough/1776 interview you posted last year compelled me to read his John Adams biography, and 1776. Both spectacular books. I'm planning to read all the other books he's written before long.

[@advids5572]

Yes, McCullough’s personality & mindset/philosophy are present in these interviews, which make you enjoy the books all the more. Thanks for watching and Thanks to Charlie Rose for having these great minds and guests for the world to be exposed to.

What happened to Charlie in pt 2?

[@Charleybones]

Hard to listen to Charlie Rose's selfabsorded drivel. He could have taken lessons from Brian Lamb on how to work an interview with a master historian. Instead Charlie resorts to sophomoric lob ball questions like a cheesey 60 minutes interview. Charlie should have tried doing his homework and reading the material himself, rather than have an intern rifle though the guest's book, and prepare himself simply by reading the cheatsheets..
