Today, we know about the Rough Riders mostly as a colorful chapter in the life of Theodore Roosevelt. But there is much more to the tale. NYT Deputy Op-Ed Editor Clay Risen will explore the untold history of the regiment and explain what made it such a significant part of American history – for Roosevelt, as well as for a country on the brink of becoming a global power.
The Crowded Hour:Theodore Roosevelt, the Rough Riders and the Dawn of the American Century is available for purchase through the Brown Bookstore, along with other titles featured this season.
