This captivating portrayal of Teddy is Bret Baier's gift to us. From Roosevelt's resilience over tragedy to his heroism in war, from his midnight rambles as police commissioner to his dramatic fights for reform as governor and president, Baier summons the irrepressible spirit of the man. What an engaging storyteller! What a joy to read! --Doris Kearns Goodwin
From #1 bestselling author and Fox News Channel's Chief Political Anchor, a fresh and fascinating exploration of the extraordinary life of Teddy Roosevelt, revealing how his bold leadership thrust America onto the world stage and changed the course of world history.
As Bret Baier shows in this wonderfully readable biography, Theodore Roosevelt has many lessons for today. --Walter Isaacson
There has never been an American life like Theodore Roosevelt's. An iconoclast who embodied the energy and bursting potential of the young nation he led, Teddy seemed ripped from the pages of an adventure novel. A partial list of his titles include: Gilded Age aristocrat, Dakota rancher, Rough Rider, New York City police commissioner, African big-game hunter, South American explorer, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and president of the United States. His lasting legacy, Bret Baier reveals in this magnificent new biography, is that Roosevelt revitalized the American spirit--challenging the status quo at home, confidently thrusting the nation onto the international stage, and forever transforming America's place in the world.
