When he toured Europe in 1910 as plain Colonel Roosevelt, he was hailed as the most famous man in the world. Crowned heads vied to put him up in their palaces. If I see another king, he joked, I think I shall bite him. Had TR won his historic Bull Moose campaign in 1912 (when he outpolled the sitting president, William Howard Taft), he might have averted World War I, so great was his international influence. Had he not died in 1919, at the early age of sixty, he would unquestionably have been reelected to a third term in the White House and completed the work he began in 1901 of establishing the United States as a model democracy, militarily strong and socially just. This biography by Edmund Morris, the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Awardwinning author of The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt and Theodore Rex, is itself the completion of a trilogy sure to stand as definitive. Packed with more adventure, variety, drama, humor, and tragedy than a big novel, yet documented down to the smallest fact, it recounts the last decade of perhaps the most amazing life in American history. What other president has written forty books, hunted lions, founded a third political party, survived an assassins bullet, and explored an unknown river longer than the Rhine? Critic Reviews: Praise for the classic biographies by Edmond Morris: One of those rare works that is both definitive for the period it covers and fascinating to read for sheer entertainment. ( The New York Times Book Review for Pulitzer Winner Rise of Theodore Roosevelt) As a literary work on Theodore Roosevelt, it is unlikely ever to be surpassed. It is one of the great histories of the American presidency, worthy of being on a shelf alongside Henry Adamss volumes on Jefferson and Madison. ( Times Literary Supplement, on Theodore Rex)
