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.
BOOK REVIEWS
In Edmund Morris, a great president has found a great biographer. . . . Every bit as much a masterpiece of biographical writing as The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, which won the Pulitzer Prize. The Washington Post
As a literary work on Theodore Roosevelt, it is unlikely ever to be surpassed. It is one of the great histories of the American presidency, worthy of being on a shelf alongside Henry Adamss volumes on Jefferson and Madison. Times Literary Supplement
Take a deep breath and dive into Theodore Rex, Edmund Morriss sequel to his 1979 masterpiece, The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt. . . . He writes with a breezy verve that makes the pages fly. The New York Times Book Review
A shining portrait of a presciently modern political genius maneuvering in a gilded age of wealth, optimism, excess and American global ascension. San Francisco Chronicle
Roosevelt is a biographers dream, an epic character not out of place in an adventure novel." The Christian Science Monitor
