• Pulitzer Prize winner, Biography or Autobiography, 1980; American Book Award winner

"A towering biography...a brilliant chronicle." (Time)

"Roosevelt surges out of these pages with the force of a physical presence." (The Atlantic Monthly)

The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt

The reader was a bit theatric for this work and although the writing was fairly good it felt as though the author was cheerleader for TR as opposed to an arbitor of the the factual accounts of Roosevelt's life

Insightful

This is a great overview into TR´s early years. You read about his overachiving attitude and his dedicated pursuit of excelence in everything he did.
Can be a bit slow at times, but overall, it is worth the read.

The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt

Excellent. This book is far superior to Theodore Rex. The narrator does a terrific job. The audio book is fast paced and very interesting. I definitely recommend it.

Teddy

Amazing and educational, I very much enjoyed listening to this book, I previously listened to Theodore Rex..

An endlessly fascinating man

I actually felt pangs of sorrow when this book ended. I can't remember when a book interested me this much.

Tremendous

Succinct, yet detailed. This book tells the life of Theodore Roosevelt through the events that created him. From his boyhood and adolescence to his time driving cattle in the badlands and storming San Juan Hill, up to the point where he becomes President.

Very enjoyable

This was a very informative and enjoyable book to listen to. Very well narrated. I didn't want it to end (lucky there is a part 2)! The perspective seems fairly balanced in presenting who he was. This is highly recommended for anyone intersted in American History or even U.S. natural history.
