An intimate portrait of the first president of the 20th century The American century opened with the election of that quintessentially American adventurer, Theodore Roosevelt. Louis Auchincloss's warm and knowing biography introduces us to the man behind the many myths of Theodore Roosevelt. From his early involvement in the politics of New York City and then New York State, we trace his celebrated military career and finally his ascent to the national political stage. Caricatured through history as the bull moose, Roosevelt was in fact a man of extraordinary discipline whose refined and literate tastes actually helped spawn his fascination with the rough-and-ready worlds of war and wilderness. Bringing all his novelist's skills to the task, Auchincloss briskly recounts the significant contributions of Roosevelt's career and administration. This biography is as thorough as it is readable, as clear-eyed as it is touching and personal.Binding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Louis AuchinclossPublisher: Times BooksPublished: 01/04/2002ISBN: 9780805069068Pages: 176Weight: 0.80lbsSize: 8.60h x 5.90w x 0.90dReview Citations: Kirkus Reviews 10/15/2001 pg. 1463Publishers Weekly 11/19/2001 pg. 55Booklist 11/15/2001 pg. 543Library Journal 11/15/2001 pg. 74Vanity Fair 01/01/2002 pg. 44BookPage 01/01/2002 pg. 10New York Review of Books 04/11/2002 pg. 6
