About this item

From Barnes & NobleThis magisterial 768-page biography the Pulitzer Prize- and National Book Award-winning author of The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt and Theodore Rex tracks the extraordinarily eventful post-presidential (1909-1919) career of Teddy Roosevelt, including his vigorous, valiant "Bull Moose" fight for the White House in 1912. Author Edmund Morris contends that had T.R. won that hard-fought campaign, World War I might have been averted. (Hand-selling tip: Make no mistake: Colonel Roosevelt is a major biography, certain to be reviewed prominently.) Geoffrey C. WardMorris is a stylish storyteller with an irresistible subject. The seismic personality that one White House visitor said had to be wrung from one's clothes when leaving Roosevelt's presence infuses every one of his trilogy's nearly 2,500 pagesMorris has lost none of his narrative skill over the last 31 years.
