4.0 out of 5 stars A New Look at a Great American, October 9, 1997
By 
J. SHARP (Alabama - United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Carry a Big Stick: The Uncommon Heroism of Theodore Roosevelt (Leaders in Action) (Hardcover)
A insatiable reader of books on TR, I was immediately drawn to "Carry a Big Stick" by its small size and by its wealth of quotes from the President (something many authors neglect). Grant is unabashedly hero-worshipping here: no negatives are to be found. If one begins "Stick" with this in mind it can be accepted and tolerated. Though it is often colored by Grant's conservative ideology (he tags turn of the 20th century politicians with turn of the 21st century labels - and greatly underrepresents some of TR's progressive leanings), it does reveal some facts about Roosevelt's religious convictions and church activities - something that is absolutely ignored in most modern biographies of historic figures. The book is less a chronological account than a look by turns at each facet of the multi-talented and constantly moving President.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT READING! WHAT A DELIGHTFUL AND INSPIRING MAN!, May 10, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Carry a Big Stick: The Uncommon Heroism of Theodore Roosevelt (Leaders in Action) (Hardcover)
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars "Grand" Leadership!, March 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Carry a Big Stick: The Uncommon Heroism of Theodore Roosevelt (Leaders in Action) (Hardcover)
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.
