4.0 out of 5 stars
Well written book,
By V-ROD "Bookworm" (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Departing Glory: Theodore Roosevelt as Ex-President (Hardcover)
The title of the book is a little misleading; Roosevelt as ex-President. In fact T.R. never really left politics, and never really retired. I'm not sure if he loved politics, but I do believe he loved his country. As the title states, this book does not contain T.R.'s childhood or rise to power. This book is a great synopsis of T.R.'s political career. It will be a fine supplement to Roosevelt biographies because it is well written and gives a fair, balanced view of his career. Just as a side note, this book was the first one I found to equate T.R. with evolution. He liked Father Zahm's book Evolution and Dogma; which sees no problem combining Creationism and evolution. I was dismayed to read this because T.R. is such an extraordinary man with tremendous character. A great patriot who put honor above everything else.
