Description

This classic biography is the story of seven men—a naturalist, a writer, a lover, a hunter, a ranchman, a soldier, and a politician—who merged at age forty-two to become the youngest President in history. The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt begins at the apex of his international prestige. That was on New Year's Day, 1907, when TR threw open the doors of the White House to the American people and shook 8,150 hands. The rest of this book tells the story of TR's irresistible rise to power. During those formative years, Roosevelt's determination and ambition shaped not only his own destiny but also the nation's.
