A review by twilightrain
The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt by Edmund Morris

4.0

An intoxicating tale and the first time I've read up on the legendary TR. I was surprised to see that his presidency wasn't covered so I will be seeking that out soon.

Notes:
Matters are constantly which require the most thoughtful concentration and the most stubborn inaction
Extraordinary ability to translate thought into deed - with such blinding rapidity, sometimes, that the two seemed to fuse
Was too strong a man to be susceptible to flattery, asking not for "rosy" forecasts but fact
