Publisher's Synopsis
America has a soul, and it is called Theodore Roosevelt. The America we have today stands as a consequence of his policies. Our prominence is the direct result of his "people first" outlook. He is the reason we are who we are on the world's stage.
This book is derived from the evidence of his own words and deciphered from his actions. It begins with his childhood and then quickly uncovers the major events that shaped his spirit and America's soul. The premise of this book is to be the light that shines on his thoughts and words. It is to understand him so that we may understand America better.
Go ahead. Find out what crossed his mind and what animated his spirit. Reading about him here will bring a greater sense of appreciation for this land we call home. Roosevelt tells us to apply strenuous effort to make this country great. This book shows us how and why. It allows us to elevate our personal standards and emulate this great man.
This is not just a book that looks at the dates and places of a man's life. It is a template for understanding why this country of ours is what it is and how a man who entered this world with such challenges challenged the status quo and won.
