Theodore Rex is the story—never fully told before—of Theodore
Roosevelt’s two world-changing terms as President of the United States. A
hundred years before the catastrophe of September 11, 2001, “TR” succeeded to
power in the aftermath of an act of terrorism. Youngest of all our chief
executives, he rallied a stricken nation with his superhuman energy, charm, and
political skills. He proceeded to combat the problems of race and labor
relations and trust control while making the Panama Canal possible and winning
the Nobel Peace Prize. But his most historic achievement remains his creation of
a national conservation policy, and his monument millions of acres of protected
parks and forest. Theodore Rex ends with TR leaving office, still only
fifty years old, his future reputation secure as one of our greatest
presidents.
This book was fantastic, it showed TR's tender side, his high intelligence and his drive for success.
