Description: James Brough gives us a sparkling account of the redoubtable daughter of Theodore Roosevelt, filled with candid details and entertaining anecdotes.

As befitted the child of the Rough Rider who was dubbed a 'brilliant madman born a hundred years too soon," Alice's flouting of convention began early. At 18, she captured the heart of the nation and went on to dominate Washington society - first as the vivacious girl, then as the outspoken observer of the political scene, and finally as the incomparably admired nonagenarian. Aged 91 at the time of this biography, one of her most memorable quips is, "If you don't have anything good to say about anybody, come sit beside me."
