Theodore Rex: "The greatest herder of emperors since Napoleon..."

Date of Review:  May 18, 2002
The Bottom Line: Theodore Rex is so good that I?m willing to go out on a limb and make a prediction: watch for it to win a Pulitzer Prize next year!
Review: My most recent literary sojourn into the world of Theodore Roosevelt (TR) ended when I finished the 555th – and last – page of Theodore Rex, the masterful second volume of Edmund Morris's planned three-volume biography of the 26th President of the...

Speak Softly, Carry a Big Stick

Date of Review:  Oct 23, 2003
The Bottom Line: Seven and a half remarkable years of an American presidency.
Review: Theodore Roosevelt is a historical figure that has always intrigued me. Among the American presidents, he has always been one of the more interesting ones. Roosevelt remains one of the most intriguing and charismatic figures in all of American...

Theodore Rex--The World Knows His Name

Date of Review:  Feb 19, 2002
The Bottom Line: Even if you are not interested in Theodore Roosevelt or the United States in the early 20th century, this book will give you the interest to learn about them.
Review: Theodore Roosevelt felt that he deserved the presidency. He was a man of vision who had great plans for the United States, but he ended up getting roped in as William McKinley?s vice-presidential candidate. Providence intervened when an anarchist...

Immense

Date of Review:  Dec 12, 2002
The Bottom Line: This excellent work will answer your questions - and then some - on the Theodore Roosevelt Presidency.
Review: Here's the first bit of good news regarding Edmund Morris' book on Theodore Roosevelt's presidency, "Theodore Rex": There's no imaginary narrator. You might recall that Morris used one in his biography of Ronald Reagan, and he received a great deal...

Bully for TR

Date of Review:  Apr 29, 2003
The Bottom Line: History fans tired of the same old biased biographies will love this book, mainly for its style.
Review: What an experience to be President during one of the best periods of American life -- before the Depression and World Wars, when America was young and optimistic. I have always liked the period in American history from 1880 to 1910 -- despite...

Another Pulitzer Prize for Morris?

Date of Review:  Apr 16, 2005
The Bottom Line: Very enlightening look at the president who arguably had the greatest influence on shaping 20th century America, and much of the modern world.
Review: The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, Theodore Rex and a future volume on TR's later years will eventually comprise a trilogy written by Edmund Morris on the man. The first book won the Pulitzer Prize for Morris in 1980. This second version is certainly...
