~~~ Segment THREE ~~~
TR’s Last War! Theodore Roosevelt
David Pietrusza, Author
On Tues, Sept 18 at the Cooperstown Village Library, David’s appearance and discussion was filmed by C-SPAN.
Online Reviews:
“Yet another outstanding work from an exceptionally talented author. Best historical non-fiction of 2018 (so far!) [August 29, 2018]
“. . . One of Pietrusza’s many strengths as a writer is his ability to convey to the reader a clear picture of his subject’s personality, making us feel as if we have an understanding of who the complex and multifaceted Roosevelt really was, as if we know TR intimately. His description of Roosevelt’s last days and the detail of his suffering and incapacity is exceptionally set out. Saving the best for last, the author concludes with a unique yet well-considered theory about Roosevelt’s last days, one which Pietrusza acknowledges to be nothing more than speculation, submitted for the reader to consider and do with what he or she will. It is delicious food for thought and is a fitting dessert to a delectable historical biography.
“In light of David Pietrusza’s past successes as an author writing about presidential history, one wonders what he will do next and how he can possibly top (or even equal) his previous work. That is something to wonder about in the context of his next book. In TR’s Last War, he once again lives up to his literary gold standard of making the history of past presidents come to life in a manner that engages and delights his readers.”–POTUSGeeks.com
