Praise for ‘Dutch’:
'In Edmund Morris, a great president has found a great biographer…Every bit as much a masterpiece of biographical writing as “The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt”, which won the Pulitzer Prize' The Washington Post

Praise for ‘The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt’:
'As a literary work on Theodore Roosevelt, it is unlikely ever to be surpassed. It is one of the great histories of the American presidency, worthy of being on a shelf alongside Henry Adams's volumes on Jefferson and Madison.' Times Literary Supplement

Praise for ‘Theodore Rex’:
'Take a deep breath and dive into “Theodore Rex”, Edmund Morris's sequel to his 1979 masterpiece, “The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt”…He writes with a breezy verve that makes the pages fly.' New York Times Book Review
