zk: I agree. Dude was a stud, and probably my favorite President. He definitely had faults, but was certainly a man of action.
I coach youth football, and make a point every season of handing out Teddy’s “Man in the Arena” speech to my players.
Another excellent bio on Teddy is “T.R.: The Last Romantic” by H.W. Brands. Very balanced, with a strong emphasis on the man himself. If you liked “Theodore Rex”, you’ll enjoy “T.R.”.
