Charles W. Snyder examines the lives of Flora Whitney Miller and Quentin Roosevelt and their doomed engagement in his review of Charles O. Bishop’s Flora & Quentin: A Roosevelt and a Vanderbilt in Love during the Great War. Snyder limits his review of the book to a few comments while providing brief biographies of Miller and Roosevelt, with an emphasis on the latter’s brief military service in World War I. Snyder contends that Roosevelt “was utterly unfit for aerial combat” because of his poor eyesight and injured back, and he notes that later in her life Miller successfully guided the Whitney Museum of American Art.
