H. W. Brands is a professor of history at Texas A&M University and author of The Reckless Decade, The Wages of Globalism, and The Devil We Knew.
"A rip-roaring life of Theodore Roosevelt, in my view the most
lovable, fascinating and creative of American presidents. Every
red-blooded American should read this entertaining book.... Mr.
Brands calls T.R. the last romantic, and it is true."--Paul
Johnson, Wall Street Journal
"Brands makes the case that Roosevelt believed in heroes and
measured himself against giants of history and literature.... He
puts them in vivid context with often wry narration and an
impressive depth of historical research."--USA Today
"Brands outlines with suitable vigor the most important aspects of
T.R.'s presidential years.... It seems likely that T.R. will stand
for some time as the standard one-volume life."--Chicago Sun
Times
"Brands shows how this hero of the charge up San Juan Hill, more
than anyone else, led the United States onto the world stage."--Los
Angeles Times
"Brands' narrative is lucid, fast-moving and unblended by
hero-worship. In a single volume he has packed Roosevelt's 60 years
of ambition, adventure, expediency, achievement, and, finally,
frustration at having peaked too soon."--Publishers Weekly
"Roosevelt's life in Mr. Brands' able hands is a demonstration of
the remarkable power of the human will. Roosevelt literally created
the character he lived out, and then lived within it until he
finally became his creation."--Washington Post
