The Big Burn

Here is Timothy Egan discussing his newest book The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire that Saved America. I think I preferred his previous book, The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl. The most interesting aspect of the new book is to see how the arguments in politics today are almost exactly the same as the argument that went on in the past. If you are into the genre of natural disaster books, both of these books are worth reading.
