A review by papidoc
Theodore Rex by Edmund Morris

5.0

Covers the presidential years of TR's life, and is as wonderfully written and researched as the first in the biographical set. We see the man that came from the boy, the philosophies, internal contradictions, energies, and actions as they emerged from the formative years and experiences of the young TR. Most of all, we see him with all his strengths and weaknesses, and despite some momentous mistakes and blindnesses (of the heart, not the eye, though the latter came as well), we see him as the great leader he was.
