A Must-Read for the U.S. History Student!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
What a wonderful book! Teddy Roosevelt was brilliantly ressurected for us by George Grant in this comprehensive, yet easy-to-read work (because of the chapter lengths). Section 1 is a biography of his life; Section 2 contains short chapters on his character, and many sides to his life; Section 3 deals with his legacy. This book gives the reader a good look a life in the U.S. during the last half of the 19th century, as well as one of the period's most beloved of heroes.

"Grand" Leadership!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Few books are as tightly written for their clarity of thought and purpose in conveying what is required to rise above the level of mediocrity. The examples given of his life and accomplishments are very inspiring and sobering at the same time. I cannot imagine for one moment that any potential reader of this book would come away unaffected by one's lack of accomplishments and yet at the same time be wanting to make a concerted effort mentally and physically to make a difference. If more men and women knew the potential within themselves to accomplish things as Roosevelt did, there is little doubt that this world would be different.
EXCELLENT READING! WHAT A DELIGHTFUL AND INSPIRING MAN!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
We home school our two children and this book will become mandatory reading material for each of them when they are in seventh grade. It is wonderfully inspiring to read about a man involved in politics who held such high ideals for himself and his country. He challanged himself to excell in every facet of his life (i.e. his faithfullness, his family, and his political life). He took his weaknesses and turned them into his strengths. This is a GREAT BOOK!

TR really comes alive. Makes one wish that he were on the national scene today. Author must have pored through mountains of material to accomplish this summary. The best part of the book is the short topical chapters. Courage, faith, failure, etc are all addressed. Makes a mini "Book of Virtues". I am buying several copies for Christmas presents this year.
