So on today's episode, we have Nigel Hamilton, the author of the new book, War and Peace, FDR's Final Odyssey, D-Day T-Yalta, 1943 to 1945.

And this book finishes your trilogy on President Roosevelt.

And I'm sadden to hear that this will actually be your final book.

Is that right?

Not necessarily my final book, but probably me my last big biography.

Okay.

Well, at last of my FDRs because he dies at the end.

That is true, yes.

I can't keep him alive.

In fact, I had a strange episode where just before I finished writing it, I got

writers block.

And at my writers group, my colleague said, well, what's the matter?

And I said, well, I can't seem to put pen to paper anymore.

And they said, well, what comes next in the story?

And I said, well, he dies.

And they said, well, isn't it obvious?

You have a problem with that?

Right.

You can't help that.

So that's good.

Even the best writers out there get writers blocked.

That encourages all the rest of us.
