Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

From the New York Times bestselling author, an acclaimed biography of President Teddy Roosevelt"A rip-roaring life... Every red-blooded American should read this entertaining book." - Wall Street JournalIn his time, there was no more popular national figure than Theodore Roosevelt. It was not just the energy he brought to every political office he held or his unshakable moral convictions that made him so popular, or even his status as a bona fide war hero. Most important, Roosevelt was loved by the people because this scion of a privileged New York family loved America and Americans. And yet, according to bestselling historian H. W. Brands, if we look at the private Roosevelt without blinders, we see a man whose great public strengths hid serious personal deficiencies; he was uncompromising, self-involved, and a highly imperfect brother, husband, and father. Beautifully written, and powerfully moved by its subject,¿T.R.¿is a magisterial biography of one of America's greatest and most complex leaders.
