From busting the largest railroad and oil trusts to orchestrating the construction of the Panama Canal, Theodore Roosevelt was an exuberant and visionary leader. Yet one cause he passionately championed—America’s entry into World War I—would ultimately destroy him when his youngest son, Quentin, was killed in an air fight. Author Eric Burns explores Roosevelt’s relationship with his son, revealing a humbler, more sensitive side to a man often remembered as “larger-than-life.”
Eric Burns, author of The Golden Lad: The Haunting Story of Quentin and Theodore Roosevelt, is a former host of Fox News Watch, a former NBC News correspondent and Today Show pundit, and has won an Emmy for media criticism.
