This review is from: The Letters and Lessons of Teddy Roosevelt for His Sons (Profiles in Fatherhood) (Paperback)
It is easy to take potshots at historical figures as long as they remain impersonal. There are some who would like to call TR a racist or imperialist or some other catchphrase. In The Letters and Lessons of Theodore Roosevelt for his Sons, however, you must get to know the person. Even if you don't agree with everything he did historically, you come away with a sense of who the person was and what his priorities, personality, and sense of honor and responsibility were all about. I don't claim to be unbiased, being a great admirer of the man. The letters only reaffirmed what I believed and made me respect the man all the more. The only minor thing that annoyed me about the book was the editor's mention in the foreword about the "Christian" character of Roosevelt's stances. Those concepts belong to all people of honor, and are not attached to any given religious tradition.
