The Limits of Friendship: Theodore Roosevelt and Henry Cabot Lodge in the White House
A LECTURE BY LAURENCE JURDEM
Laurence Jurdem, Ph.D., is currently an adjunct professor of history at Fairfield University and Fordham College’s Lincoln Center campus. Mr. Jurdem is also the author of Paving the Way for Reagan: The Influence of Conservative Media on U.S. Foreign Policy. A frequent writer on American politics, his articles have appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and the San Francisco Chronicle. He lives in Connecticut.
Evoking the political intrigue of the Gilded Age, The Rough Rider and the Professor chronicles the extraordinary thirty-five-year friendship between President Theodore Roosevelt and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, that was nurtured by some 2,500 letters. That correspondence forms the foundation for Laurence Jurdem’s lively narrative.
