The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris

5.0

When an asthmatic child can grow up to be a strong colonel and then President of the United States, that must be a great story and life, and Theodore Roosevelt's rise is definitely that. Reading about all the he accomplished before he was forty shows the drive of a man. This book sucked me in. I found myself wondering what Teddy would do next. Edmund Morris does an amazing job of bringing this great man to life. This has to be one of the best biographies I have ever read. I can't wait to read the next two.
