A hundred years before the catastrophe of September 11, 2001, “TR” succeeded to power in the aftermath of an act of terrorism. Youngest of all our chief executives, he rallied a stricken nation with his superhuman energy, charm, and political skills. He proceeded to combat the problems of race and labor relations and trust control while making the Panama Canal possible and winning the Nobel Peace Prize. But his most historic achievement remains his creation of a national conservation policy, and his monument millions of acres of protected parks and forest. Theodore Rex ends with TR leaving office, still only fifty years old, his future reputation secure as one of our greatest presidents. Review: An Excellent Chronicle of the First Modern Presidency - Theodore Rex by Edmund Morris is a very good book detailing the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt. It is a well-written, informative and detailed work outlining the effect that Roosevelt had upon both the office of the President and the United States. Theodore Roosevelt was a politican of firm views. A supporter of the market system, who nevertheless saw its flaws and inequities, he worked to reform a system which seemed stacked in the favour of cartels and monopolies. A Republican who was not afraid to challenge his own party on a variety of issues - although this ultimately caused problems and storred up resentments for the future - and was willing to use his undoubted popularity to appeal to the wider electorate in order to bring about change. A conservationist and a global statesman whose actions and measures preserved millions of acres of wilderness, but who was also one of the driving forces behind that great monument to industrial progress, the Panama Canal. Overall, an excellent book examining the extraordinary presidency of a remarkable man. Review: First Steps to Becoming a World Power - Edmund Morris writes an excellent book on Theodore Roosevelt's presidency. He comes across as probably the best U.S. President.being probably more Democrat than Republican in his ideas and used Congress to get those ideas passed as well as using executive powers to by-pass Congress when necessary. He was not anti-business, just against businesses using their power unfairly, and he was not pro-labour per se, just wanted labour to be treated fairly. He set the U.S.A. on course to become the world power that it now is. A book is well worth reading, giving and insight to Roosevelt's opinion of Germany and Japan that were becoming aggressive and an interesting episode is the tactics used to put a stop to illegal Japanese immigration. ## Features - Orders are despatched from our UK warehouse next working day. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 180,129 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 16 in United States Historical Biographies 109 in Political Leader Biographies 1,031 in Historical Biographies starting 1901 | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,570 Reviews | ## Images ![Theodore Rex: Edmund Morris (Modern Library Paperbacks) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91VKycKQKcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Excellent Chronicle of the First Modern Presidency *by H***H on 13 May 2018* Theodore Rex by Edmund Morris is a very good book detailing the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt.
