I watched Morris lecture at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, at 17, I was the youngest person there! Morris signed my book, "I bought The rise of TR," he looked at the flyleaf, there was an old picture of TR as a young man, Morris said "Looks about as young as you!" it was so cool...

This interview is exceptional. Great interviewer. And it goes without saying that Morris is a brilliant biographer and fascinating interviewee. Thank you for uploading this.

The photo at 26:24 is not of TR's "beautiful young wife,'" as Morris refers to her. That is a picture of TR's oldest daughter. I suspect it is the mistake of a production assistant who didn't realize both the wife and the daughter were named Alice.

Amazing that Morris started his TR career on Nixon's speech.

TR's first wife Alice and his mother died in the same house hours apart. He soon left for North Dakota, laving his infant daughter Alice with one of his sisters. TR quotes ? "I can control Alice or be President of the United States, I can't do both", when he was told that son Quentin was KIA his first words where " how I'm I going to tell his mother?"

I have all 3 of his books on TR. I missed the news that he died in 2019. His wife died the next year.

That was kind of crummy that they he gave away the last line. They should have edited it out.

Good interview, but what's up with that hideous music at the end? It's like the stuff they use to move weepy Hollywood actors off the stage at the Oscars.

I want to read this book; Roosevelt was one of the greatest imperialist war mongers ever; great enemy of the folks I admire most in late 19th and early 20th Century America, the Anti-Imperialist League. TR paid them the greatest complement a war monger can pay peace activists-he called them "unhanged traitors". The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I give a dislike here strictly regarding Morris and not Mr. Lamb who is always a pro.
