description: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER  A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK  Colonel Roosevelt is compelling reading and [Edmund] Morris is a brilliant biographer who practices his art at the highest level. . . . A moving beautifully rendered account.Fred Kaplan The Washington PostThis biography by Edmund Morris the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Awardwinning author of The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt and Theodore Rex marks the completion of a trilogy sure to stand as definitive.Of all our great presidents Theodore Roosevelt is the only one whose greatness increased out of office. 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?Packed with more adventure variety drama humor and tragedy than a big novel yet documented down to the smallest fact this masterwork recounts the last decade of perhaps the most amazing life in American history.Hair-raising . . . awe-inspiring . . . a worthy close to a trilogy sure to be regarded as one of the best studies not just of any president but of any American.
