5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent balance, March 15, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Power and Responsibility: Theodore Roosevelt (Hardcover)
This Biography of Roosevelt is highly recommended! It offers a good exploration of the Presidential years and the political moves any President must balance when dealing with the Senate, parties, etc. It also deals with the shaping of the man before the Presidency without overwhealming the coverage of his administration. Miller's bio. focused far too much on his personal life and left you wondering what really happened during his White House years. Harbaugh balances the two areas expertly, and leaves the reader with a complete understanding of both.

Great biography!, November 22, 2001
This review is from: Power and Responsibility: Theodore Roosevelt (Hardcover)
This biography is highly praised by Roosevelt buffs because it is precise, complete and well balanced. It is in the same league as the Edmund Morris books and Nathan Millers fine work on Theodore Roosevelt.

History, January 6, 2000
This review is from: Power and Responsibility: Theodore Roosevelt (Hardcover)
This history is educational concerning TR's political and personal life. However, the writing is fairly dry and it is not very inspiring.
