Description
The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris This biography tells the story of seven men who merged at age forty-two to become the youngest President in history. It begins at the apex of his international prestige, on New Year's Day, 1907, when TR threw open the doors of the White House to the American people and shook 8,150 hands. The book chronicles TR's transformation from a frail, asthmatic boy into a full-blooded man, from his early days as a naturalist and writer to his rise as a politician and soldier. It explores his various roles, including his marriage, his work as a civil service reformer, and his time as police commissioner in New York City. Through TR's life, Morris reveals a complex and dynamic individual who was driven by a strong sense of purpose and a desire to make a difference.
