[4] In addition to his written work, Ross has been featured on more than fifty radio and television programs, including PBS's American Experience, NPR's On Point,[5] Science Friday,[6] C-SPAN, the Discovery Channel, the John Batchelor Show, and the Pritzker Military Presents.
[10] The Washington Post says "Ross tells Powell's story powerfully, sprinkled with quotes from the explorer-geologist's diary and a feeling of dramatic suspense—will he survive?—even though we know the outcome.
[13] His book Enduring Courage: Ace Pilot Eddie Rickebacker and the Dawn of the Age of Speed (St. Martin's Press, 2014) tells the true story of Eddie Rickenbacker, America's greatest flying ace during World War I. Ross details how Rickenbacker overcame class hostility and a lack of formal education, pushing redefining the nature of speed in American society to become one of America's greatest race car drivers and pilots.
[15]The Wall Street Journal has praised Ross for skill in depicting the reality of World War I air combat and how pilots' dangerous experiences differed from the more romantic ideas surrounding flight at the time.
[16] The Wall Street Journal similarly hailed Ross' earlier book, War on the Run: The Epic Story of Robert Rogers and the Conquest of America's First Frontier, as a "lively, evocative and at times moving biography" of the man who is the godfather of Special Operations.
