On this episode of Tripod, join us for a discussion with David Lesch, a professor of history at Trinity University, author, lecturer, and conflict resolution specialist for five U.S. presidential administrations, and Catherine Nixon Cooke, an award winning author of histories and biographies, including her most recent publication, Dodgers to Damascus, which details Lesch's personal journey from the pitcher's mound to the Middle East. In this episode, we will explore Lesch and Cooke's collaboration and how biographies help connect us to the people and places in our lives.
