In this episode of the 'Talk About Teddy' podcast, Larry and Kurt are joined by Clay Risen, a journalist and editor at the New York Times. Clay discusses his 2019 book 'The Crowded Hour: Theodore Roosevelt, the Rough Riders, and the Dawn of the American Century,' which explores the significance of the Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War and their impact on Theodore Roosevelt's political career. Clay delves into the diverse composition of the regiment, describing how it reflected American society, and explains how the war and the Rough Riders served as a crucible for Roosevelt's leadership skills and public persona. The conversation also touches on the broader themes of American imperialism, the evolution of the U.S. military, and the role of the media in shaping public perception during the war.
