Reviews"In Edmund Morris, a great president has found a great biographer. . . . Every bit as much a masterpiece of biographical writing asThe Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, which won the Pulitzer Prize." -The Washington Post "As a literary work on Theodore Roosevelt, it is unlikely ever to be surpassed. It 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 "Take a deep breath and dive intoTheodore Rex, Edmund Morris's sequel to his 1979 masterpiece,The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt. . . .

Outstanding bio of Teddy Roosevelt's time in the White House
Morris is an outstanding biographer. His first Teddy bio The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt won a Pulitzer. After reading the Rise, I had to buy and read this one. The combination of Morris as a skilled biographer and the fascinating account on how our country was doing during the turn of the last century in my opinion is well worth the read.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
