Editorial Reviews

Review
The Republican Roosevelt offers a fresh, well-written biographical treatment of one of the most arresting figures of modern American life. (New York Times Book Review )

Professor John Morton Blum...in an exciting, able, and provocative essay seeks to explain Roosevelt and to fix for him a more determined place in history...With learning, sympathy, understanding, and humor and from a remarkable point of vantage as an associate editor of The Letters of Theodore Roosevelt, Mr. Blum has come up with a very important book. (American Historical Review )

A first-class interpretation of Roosevelt the politician, Roosevelt as he managed Congress, Roosevelt at the helm of our foreign affairs, and in the numerous other roles in which he achieved his great successes. (San Francisco Chronicle )

About the Author
John Morton Blum is Professor of History at Yale University.

5.0 out of 5 stars Roosevelt as Progressive Conservative, August 3, 2001
By A Customer
I read this book over twenty years ago and remember it as very well written and particularly illuminating on Theodore Roosevelt's patrician approach to Progressivism. The offers an exciting and concise view of the how Roosevelt established an important, if limited, role for government in American economic life.

It shows how much difference one man can make to both his political party and to his nation. The book was written at a time when the legacy of Teddy Roosevelt was very much in the shadow of FDRoosevelt's new deal. It provides an intense contrast with the current, sorry state of the Republican party and national politics, in general.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Blum's best work!, July 1, 2000
By Curtis J. George (Centreville, Maryland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was very disappointed with John Morton Blum's biography on Theodore Roosevelt. I found it to be poorly written and some chapters were rather ambiguous and confusing.

The first few chapters were good but the book steadily went downhill from there. Theodore Roosevelt was such a lively, exciting character and Blum's book did not bring out any of that excitement. I found the book informative but very boring and dull.
