A great president has finally found a great biographer.” —The Washington Post “As a literary work on Theodore Roosevelt, it is unlikely ever to be surpassed. It is one of the great histories of the American presidency, worthy of being on a shelf alongside Henry Adams’s volumes on Jefferson and Madison.” —Times Literary Supplement Colonel Roosevelt “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.” —San Francisco Chronicle “[A] splendid and indispensable study of America’s twenty-sixth president . . .

Review: This book about Theodore Roosevelt is factual and very interesting. - This is well written, factual, and very interesting.

Pretty objective biography
Edmund Morris reminds me a lot of Robert Caro (author of The Power Broker and the biography of LBJ). His research has been excellent (which takes much time and requires us to wait for following volumes) and his treatment of TR is very objective. If you've read "Theodore Roosevelt: A Life" by Nathan Miller or "Morning's on Horseback" by David McCullough, and are fascinated with TR's incredible will to overcome his serious health issues, maximize his performance in whatever he attempts and achieve personal success through leadership -- then there are many additional details of this man's journey in this trilogy. Three volumes may be a bit much for many -- in which case you should start with one of the two biographies I mentioned. But, the surprise in the three volumes is that, like Caro, Morris has an engrossing way of writing which, if you didn't know better, you might think you were reading a novel rather than biography.

Great collection of books on TR
If you're a fan of Theodore Roosevelt or even if you're interested in the man, then this series of books are for you. The writing is very good and a lot of information about TR is revealed.

Historians always rate TR in the top five presidents in American History!
All four books on TR’s life are being read and I should produce many hours of joy! And, can I order the recently issued biography of AaronRodgers? Thank you.

Wonderful series. A treasure.
Mine got ruined during recent Dubai rainstorm - so I'll have to buy again, but I'm also keeping my "drowned and dryed" originals because these books are just too near and dear to just give up upon even if they were ravaged by water. If you are reading this: just get them. Not necessarily from here. But get them. It's a wonderful read.

What’s happening
I am a English man in my 80th decade and now have the time to spend time reading history and, in particular, biography of the remarkable people that formed the United States from it’s inception to it’s rise to power. American autobiography is generally fun and balanced to read. Edmund Morris is up there with the best. But what’s now happening?. Don’t people understand what your great nation arose from.

fascinating biorgaphy - very well written. Compelling storyline that keeps your interest.
Truly a unique and inspiring character. Ranks up there with the biographies of Churchill, napoleon, and peter the great.

Standing beside Jefferson and Lincoln.
Theodore Roosevelt was one of the most influential Presidents in American history and Morris's biography is essential to anyone wanting to understand American (and World) history. This set is the bargain of the year.
