Other editions of book Theodore Roosevelt: An Autobiography

“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.” -Theodore Roosevelt Spanning his earliest remembrances as a child to his historic charge up San Juan Hill, and his years in the White House, An Autobiography by Theodore Roosevelt offers an intimate and revealing portrait of one of the greatest statesmen in American history. As a militarist and politician, Theodore Roosevelt accomplished a remarkable list of achievements including forming the Rough Riders, trust-busting companies like Standard Oil, expanding the United States’ network of national parks, and negotiating the end of the Russo-Japanese War, for which he was awarded the 1906 Nobel Peace Prize. In his own words – chronicling the incidents that shaped Roosevelt’s career but also offers insight into the character and mind of this remarkable American president. From president of the board of New York City Police Commissioners, secretary of the Navy, founder of the Rough Riders during the war with Cuba, his time as the governor of New York, to vice president and eventually, after the assignation of President McKinley, becoming the twenty-sixth president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt’s role in the shaping of the United States is still felt today.

We of the great modern democracies must strive unceasingly to make our several countries lands in which a poor man who works hard can live comfortably and honestly- and in which a rich man cannot live dishonestly nor in slothful avoidance of duty; and yet we must judge rich man and poor man alike by a standard which rests on conduct and not on caste...'

and I am a presidential history buff, or a nut as my wife might say. I love reading about bygone times of Grover Cleveland, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and my favorite president of all Theodore Roosevelt. Why Roosevelt you might ask, well to try and keep it simple he was real, what you saw is what you got, I identify with him in a lot of ways, allow me to explain. He was a big game hunter and yet he formed sanctuaries and parks for preservation. I can see that I don’t hunt personally but have friends that do and I don’t condemn them for it. I love animals and yet I would kill one if it meant my family was going to starve. He left office as secretary of the navy to join a fight against Spain; no one would ever do that especially in our society today.Roosevelt was a cowboy, a boxer, a politician, a war hero, a father, a devoted husband, and most of all a real human being and I respect that I hope you will read or listen to this book in his own words and get to know one of your presidents and I hope that you will come to appreciate him as much as I have.

In this book the 26th president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, gives us his own unique insight into his life and career. This great man was far more than just a politician however, he was a renowned hunter, conservationist and soldier and wrote extensively about both these interests and politics. Elected with one of the largest ever shares of the popular vote he remains a respected and popular figure in American history.This is not an objective view of Roosevelt's life by any means. He gives his own view on events and his own opinion permeates the text. Nothing less could be expected from such a charismatic and powerful personality. He covers his life just as far as the end of his presidency, focusing on his political career, although in two appendices he attacks the presidents following him, Taft and Wilson.It is a dense and wordy account of his life and career, but well worth the read for any student of American history or politics.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
