Books with author Teddy Roosevelt

Teddy Roosevelt's story of his life, from his sickly childhood in New York, to his adventures as a hunter and explorer, to his service as Police Chief and then Governor of New York, to his service with the Rough Riders in the Spanish-American War, to his selection as Vice President and becoming the youngest American President on the assassination of William McKinley. During his Presidency, Roosevelt was a champion of the Progressive agenda--he constructed the Panama Canal, passed a number of social reforms, initiated the National Park system, and carried out a campaign against the power of the large corporations, earning him the nickname "The Trust-Buster". His mediation in the Russo-Japanese War earned him a Nobel Peace Prize.

"The Rough Riders," by Theodore Roosevelt, is the author's memoir of his experiences as part of the First United States Volunteer Cavalry during the Spanish-American War. The book's title comes from the nickname earned by the unit. Originally published in 1899, the book is Roosevelt's account of the recruitment and training of the Rough Riders, their voyage to Cuba, their battles, and their return home. Much of the book concerns what, in Roosevelt's opinion, makes for good soldiers and good leaders. Although the book first appeared over a century ago, many of Roosevelt's observations are startlingly relevant to contemporary warfare; he discusses wartime refugees, guerrilla warfare, wartime atrocities, and battlefield news correspondents. Other topics covered include illness among the troops and the impact of weather and terrain on warfare. He also discusses occasional humorous material, such as the nicknames some soldiers earned. Roosevelt includes fascinating technical details about the weapons of this era. Although he frankly discusses the violence, wounds, and deaths of the battlefield, the book gives the impression that Roosevelt saw war as a grand adventure-even fun on a certain level. The writing style is very engaging and has a clear, matter-of-fact quality. Roosevelt's admiration and love for his troops ultimately gives the book a real warmth and humanity, making Rough Riders truly a landmark in the rich canon of American military memoirs.

See nobody ever told me how much of a bitch Karma was or the fact that the bitch worked her own hours and days. She may not hit you right away but when she do finally catch up to your ass she charge double of what you owe her plus federal and state tax. She may make you pay for all your shit at once or she may even charge you for one incident at a time. It’s no telling with the bitch. Even if you do more good than bad, the bitch don’t forget the bad. Don’t get me wrong she still repay you for the good but that hoe still make you pay for all the bad like you aint never did no good. My mother raised me to respect women and I did; I never treated any female less than what she deserved. I treated them all the way they allowed me to treat them and honestly I didn’t see no wrong in it growing up. I never called any of them out of their name until I met the bitch karma, she just surprised the hell out of me the way she came back into my life. I had multiple run INS with her before growing up but I understood why and considered each of our other altercations justified. I didn’t expect she’d be the one I fall in love with, or she’d be the one I say “I Do” to.
