David Pietruzsa returns with a sneak peek from part of his upcoming new book TR’s Last War. From David: “July 14th 2018 marks the hundredth anniversary of the death in aerial combat of former President Theodore Roosevelt's youngest and best-loved son, Quentin, who had volunteered to fight and fly on World War I's stalemated Western Front. TR had long battled to prepare the nation to fight that war. He personally volunteered for combat. Woodrow Wilson rebuffed him. But TR's four sons went in his place. Quentin never came back. His father's heart may have been broken. But his patriotism never flagged.” P.S. David will back in the fall to talk about the whole book in September.
