Theodore Roosevelt's life story is a great study in the art of living life fully. For young people particularly, Roosevelt's example can be a valuable lesson highlighting the benefits of taking risks, seizing the initiative, being true to one's beliefs and taking charge of molding one's
persona. Simply put, TR's life shows why a can-do attitude has the chance to produce success when applied consistently to life's challenges and opportunities.
TR's incredible rise and success in public life (as well as family, literary and outdoor life) is due much more to his
constantly being in a state of forward motion rather than the execution of any long term plans. This very practical man combined this trait with several extraordinary gifts and a
charismatic personality to will himself on the American people over a thirty year period. It is a remarkable story
All of these facts need an able story teller. Theodore Roosevelt has found one in Nathan Miller. Richly researched, the author weaves facts with well reasoned commentary to produce an easily read tome. This is a fun book to read. It is fast paced and thoroughly interesting. In Miller's hands, TR's lively personality leaps from the page and enthuses the reader.
