The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt
Amazon
Biography
Pulitzer-winning bio of TR from birth until he
becomes president. The book is very good, extremely
readable, and it somehow comes across that you're
getting a painstakingly accurate view of
TR's life, not a eulogy, even though the book is
fairly overflowing with plaudits. It's a shame
the book ends when TR gets the presidency; you
get the idea we're just getting going but it's
over.
