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.
