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 over the years 1858-1901. From publishing a distinguished work of naval history to becoming the leader of a Republican insurgency in the New York State Assembly, TR's life was marked by a series of bold and often unconventional choices. He was a naturalist, a writer, a lover, a hunter, a ranchman, a soldier, and a politician, all of whom merged to shape his remarkable presidency. Through TR's story, Morris offers a brilliant and detailed account of his rise to power, from his early days as a civil service reformer in Washington, D.C., to his time as assistant secretary of the navy, where he played a key role in bringing about the Spanish-American War.
