There has never been an American life like Theodore Roosevelt's. An iconoclast who embodied the energy and bursting potential of the young nation he led, "Teddy" seemed ripped from the pages of an adventure novel. A partial list of his titles include: Gilded Age aristocrat, Dakota rancher, Rough Rider, New York City police commissioner, African big-game hunter, South American explorer, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and president of the United States. His lasting legacy, Bret Baier reveals in this magnificent new biography, is that Roosevelt revitalized the American spirit--challenging the status quo at home, confidently thrusting the nation onto the international stage, and forever transforming America's place in the world.
