He was a devoted husband and father a politician a soldier a war journalist an editor a cattle rancher a scientist a writer an athlete a hunter and a diplomat. While the list of his exploits seems imposing it was his passionate commitment to what he believed was right and good and true that was dynamically compellingeven to those who opposed him. Theodore Roosevelt was a hero. In this thought-provoking look at his leadership in action we see why he not only earned the respect and admiration of his contemporaries but why even today he continues to capture our imagination. "For me Theodore Roosevelt has always been a caricature a political cartoon with a stick and coke-bottom glasses riding up San Juan hill. Now through this wonderful retelling of his life this larger-than-life image has become a real living and breathing personstill large to be sure and most definitely now alive."
