About this title

Synopsis:

An analysis of the final ten years of Theodore Roosevelt's life describes how he went on safari after leaving the White House, unsuccessfully strived for another presidential term, worked to support Liberty bonds when the U.S. entered World War I, and lost his son on Bastille Day. 60,000 first printing.

Review:

"Compelling storytelling and magnificent research bring alive once more Roosevelt in all his overflowing and boisterous energy." -- The Boston Globe

"Incisive analysis of Roosevelt's emeritus decade. While Ms. O'Toole clearly appreciates Roosevelt's accomplishments, she also has a keen eye for the hubris and scheming that were so central to his nature." -- Janet Maslin, The New York Times

"Splendid. . . . O'Toole brings eloquence and keen psychological insight to a familiar subject; the result is a lovely, unpretentiously learned tale of a great man who could never master his own ambition." -- Jon Meacham, Newsweek

Reads like an elegantly written novel. . . . Delectable stories and fine historical writing fill O'Toole's pages. . . . I see O'Toole's marvelous study as a must read for anyone who loves or hates TR. Her compelling storytelling and magnificent research bring alive once more Roosevelt in all his overflowing and boisterous energy." -- Kathleen Dalton, The Boston Globe

"O'Toole has written the definitive account of TR's postpresidential years." -- Library Journal

"A triumph of high achievement, one no history buff, nor anyone fascinated with character, should miss." -- Jay Strafford, Richmond Times Dispatch
