Theodore Roosevelt book. The American Presidents series is one approach

Theodore Roosevelt book. The American Presidents series is one approach. This volume in the series focuses on the old Rough Rider himself, Theodore Roosevelt. He became the 26th president upon the death of McKinley in 1901, and then was elected to a term of his own. TR famously declined to run for a second elected term, a decision he lived to regret. TR's presidency had many accomplishments, striking out in as many directions as the man himself.

President Roosevelt gained unprecedented popularity after refusing to shoot a captive bear. The press went wild with the story, and with the help of Clifford Berryman’s political cartoons, the Teddy bear was born. Roosevelt was an avid reader, sometimes reading a book a day. He was also a prolific author, writing 32 books. He corresponded with his many friends by writing more than 150,000 letters.

Reviews about Theodore Roosevelt: The American Presidents Series: The 26th President, 1901-1909 (7):

This is an enjoyable summary of Theodore Roosevelt’s life. “Enjoyable” is not usually associated with a serious biography but Louis Auchincloss’s experience as a novelist really shows. The book covers all the high and low points of TR’s life. What Auchincloss frequently does is bring in aspects of Roosevelt's life and interests, especially literary ones, which other biographers might gloss over. These help to light up Roosevelt’s unique personality. None of the books in the American Presidents Series go into depth on the subject and neither does this one. But this is one of the better books in the series. As a well-written, highly engaging, and readable summary of Theodore Roosevelt’s life and presidency in 136 pages, this book is hard to beat.

These comments are for the Audio Renaissance book of "Theodore Roosevelt" by Louis Auchincloss. This audio book consists of 3 cassettes with a playtime of 4 hours. Ira Claffey reads the book and does a very credible performance. I was pleased to read on the cassette storage box that this production was unabridged.

The three cassettes are not stored in individual hinged boxes but are secured in a sturdy plastic case with a paperboard cover that opens like a small hardbound book. In fact the case is designed to stand up on edge making it an ideal storage medium for a library shelf or your home bookcase.

I would like to highlight two items I took away from this book.

The issues we confront today with the progressive movement - taxes, business regulations, and social policy - originated with TR's "Bull Moose" third party campaign during the 1912 presidential election. We are still wrangling over the same issues and hundred years later.

One of the chapters in this book consists of candid quotes from TR's letters. His way with words, caustic expressions and startling opinions are refreshing and surprising. I certainly enjoyed hearing them.

This audio book is part of the series "The American President" with Arthur M. Schlesinger as general editor. Different authors write these short biographies of the Presidents so you a presented with an assortment of perspectives and styles. I have previously listened too the audio versions of Jefferson, John Quincy Adams and Eisenhower and have read the Nixon volume. If you are inclined these volumes provide an excellent introduction to our history and the politics that rule and, at times, confound our destiny.

These volumes are certainly not the last word on the subject as I found out recently with I started listening to the Edmund Morris monumental three-volume biography of TR.

History never ends; it merely repeats similar but never identical challenges and opportunities and thus determines the fate of nations and leaders by the response to old events in new settings.

And so, President Theodore Roosevelt is a prototype for Barack Obama. It makes this 2002 book a guide to the next four years, perhaps a forecast for the next century.

The popular image of Roosevelt is a Rough Rider vigorously charging up San Juan Hill like a Bull Moose -- the Rambo, or perhaps Dumbo, of his generation. This book offers a more astute portrait of a complex intellect who used bravado and the Bully Pulpit as images and not as a crutch.

Roosevelt inherited the Gilded Age excesses, just as Obama inherits the wreckage of the Greedy Age; his guiding principle, shaped by his vigorous response to devastating asthmatic attacks as a child, was "the classic credo that every man is master of his fate."

He became president when the Great Powers, real or in sorry delusions, were Britain, France, Germany, Austria/Hungary, Russia and Japan. Due to his intellect and ability, he became the moderator of their disputes. The Great White Fleet was a powerful image; Roosevelt was the intellect to which they listened.

Had he been president in 1914, could he have prevented or stopped World War I? Auchincloss raises this issue and concludes Roosevelt was deluding himself; however, based on his successes in the Russo-Japanese War of 1905 and the Moroccan Crisis of 1906, he might have succeeded.

Roosevelt's words were often bravado, but his actions were common sense and realistic. For example, in 1895 he advocated "an immediate war with Great Britain for the conquest of Canada." In 1903, when faced with the Alaska-Canada border dispute, he settled for negotiation (Canada has never lost a war with the U.S., or won an argument).

In conclusion, this is a brief but superb study of Roosevelt's character and major decisions. In some ways he was greatly flawed, but it many ways greatly talented and wise. It's easy to be president if no major decisions are required -- think of Millard Fillmore, president from 1850-53; Roosevelt is an example of the ability to respond to great challenges.

May America do as well in the next four to eight years.
