Al Roker, Author of RUTHLESS TIDE http://www.blogtalkradio.com/theneilhaleyshow/2018/05/29/al-roker-author-of-ruthless-tide Today on The Neil Haley Show, The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Al Roker, Author of RUTHLESS TIDE. RUTHLESS TIDE follows a compelling cast of characters whose fates converged because of that fateful day, including John Parke, the engineer whose heroic efforts failed to save the dam; Henry Clay Frick, the robber baron whose fancy sport fishing resort was responsible for modifications that weakened the dam; and Clara Barton, the founder of the American Red Cross, who spent five months in Johnstown leading one of the first organized disaster relief efforts. Weaving together their stories and those of many ordinary citizens whose lives were forever altered by the event, Roker creates a classic account of our natural world at its most terrifying. The tragedy was also notable for overhauling the American system of legal liability, driven by public outrage when flood victims lost their court case against the dam’s owners whose irresponsibility contributed to the disaster. AL ROKER is known to more than thirty million TV viewers and has won thirteen Emmy Awards, ten for his work on NBC’s Today.  A New York Times bestselling author, Roker lives in Manhattan with his wife, ABC News and 20/20 correspondent Deborah Roberts, and has two daughters and a son.
