An occasional series in which writers speak for themselves.

Chief executive officer of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation and a former media executive, Edward F. O’Keefe is also the author of The Loves of Theodore Roosevelt: The Women Who Created a President. Said presidential historian Jon Meacham of the 2024 work, “By detailing Theodore Roosevelt’s emotional connections to the women in his life, O’Keefe reminds us that leaders are not made of marble but of heart and flesh. This is a wonderful book.”
O’Keefe discussed The Loves of Theodore Roosevelt with author/attorney Talmage Boston last week. Listen to the podcast here.
