Download the KERA radio podcast here. Consider this Salon.com review and tell us what you think. "Edmund Morris, the Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer of Theodore Roosevelt (and the author of a critically panned biography of Ronald Reagan), has returned with the third and final volume of his Roosevelt biography. "Colonel Roosevelt," with its descriptive and narrative power, its thorough exploitation of sources, and its interplay of man and nation, may be the best biography ever written about the life of an American president." We can't tell if the reviewer liked the book or not. Find that review here. "Colonel Roosevelt" is the third and final installment in the epic biography of the man, by Morris. The other two are: The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt and Theodore Rex (Modern Library Paperbacks). Other books by Morris: Dutch: A Memoir of Ronald Reagan, Ten Acres is Enough.
