Here is what people are saying about the The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt (Modern Library (Paperback))

"Should be Required Reading for Civil Servants"	2010-01-15
- Reviewed By C.H. Stringer from Corvallis, Oregon
The lessons learned from Roosevelt and illustrated by Morris are essential to any budding civil servant: Lesson 1: A Free & Independent Press is Crucial for Reform. Even though individual people may be Democrats, Republicans, Greens and Independents, the public as a whole wants the right thing to happen. It is the duty of the press to put these issues of public concern to the forefront and it is the duty of the civil servant to put important issues in the press not just once, but again and again until the public is adequately informed and then the public can act or choose not to act. Lesson 2: Organizational Loyalty Can Block the Right Thing From Happening. Roosevelt helped to weaken the well organized Democratic "machine politicians" of Tammany Hall as well as going against the machine politicians in his own Republican party when they blocked the path to reform. TR was appointed to more positions than he was elected to, but he never let the loyalty to those who appointed him surpass the loyalty to "the people." For example, President Benjamin Harrison (R) appointed TR (also R) as a Civil Service Commissioner. The majority of the prominent people investigated and prosecuted when TR performed as Civil Service Commissioner were Republicans much to the horror of his own party loyalists. Those who take tax dollars for their salary need to remember where true loyalty lies. Lesson 3: Be Obnixious! TR brought public issues to the forefront via the press by being obnoxious about it. A small quote about civil service reform in the papers was not good enough. He needed to accuse, berate and in some cases belittle the oposition. While I do not think personal attacks are the way to go, a lesson can be learned about TR's persistence. He did not let things die. He just kept plugging away. This is a well written book that should be required reading for all people employed in government.

"A masterpiece of biography"	2010-01-15
- Reviewed By Chris S. from Pittsburgh, PA USA
Theodore Roosevelt is among the most fascinating individuals the United States of America has ever produced, and he has a more than worthy biographer in Edmund Morris. Though extremely wrong (over 900 pages!), Morris's book is never boring, rarely drags, and overall does justice to TR, arguably the greatest President of the 20th Century (with only his cousin Franklin in competition). Roosevelt is certainly a daunting figure to tackle. The sickly, asthmatic child, the awkward college athlete, the self-made cowboy and buffalo hunter, the politician, police captain, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, soldier, Governor of New York and President - Roosevelt so frequently changed his identity that it would be impossible for most people to draw a bead on him. He was a truly remarkable figure full of power, force, determination, and contradictions - an aristocratc cowboy, a progressive conservative, a maverick machine-politician, an imperialist peacemaker - somehow combining everything quintessentially American into one larger-than-life personality. And Morris, to his immense credit, captures every side of Roosevelt perfectly, down to the letter, not dwelling on his contradictions and foibles but largely letting the man speak for himself. Morris's writing is impeccable. I won't say that the book reads like a novel - it's a bit too heavy on facts for that - but Morris makes it entertaining and fascinating. It's a true page-turner, with scarcely a dull moment. Morris does his best work with specific events - namely Roosevelt's and his military service in Cuba - but throughout maintains a strong sense of time and place, using strong, muscular prose, vivid imagery and detail, and a fascinating cast of characters to convey TR and the world he lived in. Any criticisms are minor - Roosevelt's wife and family are given fairly short shrift, and the Cuba section, though generally strong, oddly focuses more on the skirmish at Las Guasimas than the famous charge on San Juan Hill. Rise of Theodore Roosevelt is among the best biographies I've ever read, and remains a standard by which all Presidential biographies must be judged. Well done, Mr. Morris.

"SPECIAL AMERICAN"	2010-01-03
- Reviewed By Jose Mango from SAIPAN, MP United States
A man like Teddy is unique and special, and it would be good now in 2010 to have a dynamic, decisive, inspiring leader. He's an original. The book is well written and documented, and a pleasure to read. I like how the author often inserts Teddy's own words. The other reviews were concise and to the point and covers most of the 'meat' in the book. I liked it and would recommend it to my friends and family. I really enjoyed the chapters "The Four-Eyed Maverick" and "The Rough Rider." Well done!

"The man who would be President"	2009-12-28
- Reviewed By Apellicon
Before Theodore Roosevelt became the 26th President of the United States he survived being a sickly child, attended Harvard, traveled the world, ran for state office, became Police Commissioner of NYC, fought in the Spanish American War and became Governor of NY State. The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt is the story of how Roosevelt became President Roosevelt. Morris' second book Theodore Rex covers Roosevelt's presidency. While I would expect the book about the youngest president to be the more interesting, I was wrong. The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt is a great book.

"A masterful history of a true Master in history"	2009-11-24
- Reviewed By Ben Uziel
This is Morris's greatest historical cannon and literary achievement in a long illustrious career, and very much deserved the pulitzer for. This book gives you as much as any narration can into the motivations of this genius and how such an impeachable man was able to rise so fast in such corrupt political environ. This book gives you an inside look into a mysterious man who combined paradoxical traits to form one of the greatest chief executives in US history. This book is touching as well as illuminating...I highly recommend!!!

"Remarkable book about a remarkable man!"	2009-11-09
- Reviewed By Romans 8:1 from Baltimore
`The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt' is a remarkable book about a remarkable man. Imagine a person who was equally an intellectual and an outdoorsman, a man who loved the spotlight and also loved spending time alone in the wilderness, a man who could read three (often scholarly) books in a day. Imagine also a man who wrote an astounding 150,000 letters in his lifetime, became a superb politician, went head-to-head with Tammany Hall (with only modest success), and eventually became president. He was a world-renowned author in his 20's, writing mostly about warfare. He was seemingly fearless and irrepressible, and had the unique ability to inspire people to follow him. Edmund Morris has written an almost seamless book about his subject. It was almost as if he was there for every occasion. You feel like you're reading a novel but missing the inner thoughts of the characters. I can't imagine the amount of time and research it took; but I'm sure TR's superabundance of letters helped! It was a Pulitzer Prize winner and well-worth the read.
