Mr. Morris has authored what I consider the definitive biographical series on Theodore Roosevelt which really forms a trilogy. They are The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, Theodore Rex and Colonel Roosevelt. There is an excellent interview of Mr. Morris by Charlie Rose which is easily accessible on YouTube, well maybe. I just did a search but I know it is out there as I used it in a powerpoint with my college survey course. His writing is very accessible and I found myself easily following the narrative pace that Mr. Morris set without much difficulty. Which I can honestly say is not achieve very often as I try to struggle through some presidential biographies.
So thank you, Mr. Morris, for such find work.. You so richly deserved the Pulitzer Prize for the first Roosevelt bio that you completed and all of the praise that you have received for Colonel Roosevelt. While your other biographical subjects do not interest me, your Roosevelt trilogy holds a high honor on my presidential biography bookshelf.
