NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - WINNER OF THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE FOR BIOGRAPHY - "A shining portrait of a presciently modern political genius maneuvering in a gilded age of wealth, optimism, excess and American global ascension."--San Francisco Chronicle
"[Theodore Rex] is one of the great histories of the American presidency, worthy of being on a shelf alongside Henry Adams's volumes on Jefferson and Madison."--Times Literary Supplement
Theodore Rex is the story--never fully told before--of Theodore Roosevelt's two world-changing terms as President of the United States. A hundred years before the catastrophe of September 11, 2001, "TR" succeeded to power in the aftermath of an act of terrorism. Youngest of all our chief executives, he rallied a stricken nation with his superhuman energy, charm, and political skills. He proceeded to combat the problems of race and labor relations and trust control while making the Panama Canal possible and winning the Nobel Peace Prize. But his most historic achievement remains his creation of a national conservation policy, and his monument millions of acres of protected parks and forest.
Theodore Rex ends with TR leaving office, still only fifty years old, his future reputation secure as one of our greatest presidents.
In the long-awaited sequel to 'The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, ' which won the Pulitzer Prize and the American Book Award for biography, Morris tells the story of Teddy Roosevelt's two successful terms as president of the United States. Photos throughout. Moderate shelf wear on the jacket.
