Rendition To Books The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt (Theodore Roosevelt #1)

'Colonel Roosevelt,' which takes its title from Roosevelt's favourite way of being addressed during his emeritus years, follows the African Journey with Mr. Morris's characteristic care. He uses primary sources, sometimes even rough drafts of letters and documents, and goes well beyond Roosevelt's own writing - which is exhausting even to contemplate, since he once claimed that he wrote between 100,000 and 150,000 letters a year. (..) The close attention in detail in 'Colonel Roosevelt' also extends to its choices of photographs. Mr. Morris seems to have been determined to use startling lifelike picture rather than blandly studied ones. (..) Post-Safari in 1910 America's showiest ex-president went to Europe and found himself greatly in demand. (..) While in Europe, Roosevelt fulfilled Taft's request that he join hordes of royalty at the funeral of Edward VII (..) Back stateside Roosevelt made a concerted effort to avoid speaking ill of Taft. And Mr. Morris described exactly how that effort fell apart as Roosevelt developed aspirations for 1912. 'Although he was not running, he was running,' Mr. Morris writes. 'Even as he maintained his vow of silence, he was shouting from the hustings.' As 'Colonel Roosevelt' describes how Roosevelt's 'Bull Moose' campaign, via the breakaway Progressive Party, managed to hobble the Republican Taft and elect a Democrat, Woodrow Wilson, this book is at its most intensively political. Campaign events and calculations dominate this part of the story. And Mr. Morris's research is thorough enough to amplify an already well-documented part of the Roosevelt story. (..) The end of Roosevelt's life was a bitter time. The war had begun. The four Roosevelt sons and their father had all trained for preparedness, two boys would be wounded; a third would be killed in France. 'What made this loss so devastating to him was the truth it conveyed,' Mr. Morris writes about Roosevelt's reaction: 'that death in battle was no more glamorous than death in an abattoir.'

Weigh Up Regarding Books The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt (Theodore Roosevelt #1)

This is one of the great biographies of all time, certainly the greatest I have ever read. Thus it is also the greatest presidential biography I have ever read, and I've read nearly thirty such volumes. This is the first volume of Edmund Morris's three-volume biography of Theodore Roosevelt, covering the years from his birth to the moment his presidency began. Never have I read such a thoroughly researched, minutely detailed, yet stirring and compelling biography. This is a book that seems to

I had to give this book 5 stars because frankly, it is one of the finest biographies I have ever read. It is a narrative of TR's life told by a writer who is obviously one of the presidents biggest fans. That said, Morris does not allow his admiration and respect for his subject to cloud his judgment. When he determines that TR got it wrong, he says so. If there is one criticism that I have it is that Edith and TR's relationship is not really dealt with in any meaningful way. I would like to

Having been invited by Nate and Robyn Gregory to spend two weeks with them in NW Wisconsin and having had several prior visits to the nearby town, I brought up two books for scholarly review and trusted to the Hayward animal welfare resale shop for supplementary pleasure reading. There I picked up this text and a couple of birthday gifts for a niece, expecting to make a start while still up in the north woods, but to finish it at home.In fact, the text was so engrossing that I finished it in a

It's hard to separate my admiration for Theodore Roosevelt from my appreciation for Edmund Morris's great biography. Theodore is an unexpectedly remarkable and fascinating individual. Edmund paints a compelling picture of Teddy with his boyish enthusiasms, boundless energy, magnetic personality, odd speaking style (at least for much of his early career), and top flight intellect. Roosevelt was a committed amateur biologist who wrote one of his many books on the big game animals of the west. He

OK, you talked me into it..................Moved "The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt" to #1 on my TR list. That's saying something since there are 700

It is hard to believe this is not fiction. Roosevelt led an amazing childhood and early life, one that is not to be believed.Aided by Morris' lively writing, this book follows TR from birth until just before he becomes President. It is not only a great picture of the precocious, intellectual, and multi-talented Roosevelt, but a good look at what America was like in the late 1800s and delves into alot of history that gets glossed over in school.While this is the first book of a planned trilogy
