Theodore Roosevelt (An Autobiography)

AOG Annotated Edition

By: Theodore Roosevelt

Narrated by: C.J. McAllister

The popularity of Teddy Roosevelt has only increased in the more than a century that passed since his term as president of the United States. This incredible first person account of his life and philosophies provides a remarkably revealing look at what made this timeless individual tick - and perhaps, into what made his impact on modern culture so profound and enduring.

We have learned nothing.

The general public are ignorant lemmings that deserve to have the wealthy take advantage of them. Nothing has changed - politicians and big corporations playing the voting and non voting public for the fools they are.

Well worth the listen/read

I knew little of Roosevelt or his presidency before reading his autobiography. I read along with a Kindle version as I listened to the audio book. Roosevelt was a man of many and many different kinds of accomplishments. He is unafraid to promote himself and yet much of what he claims would be hard to invalidate. Most interesting to me were his non-political thoughts. His sense of the need for young people to play and be active, to use imagination in the outdoors was refreshing and helpful in a day of chin-to-chest bone lock down on social media. I found the narrator's style took a while to get used to, but once there, I enjoyed it, although I think that performance pales somewhat before the amazing life being told.

Specifically for political science students

I could have done without the "study and discussion questions" put into the narration

An amazing life

Mr Roosevelt led an incredibly interesting life. Being President wasn’t even in the top 5 interesting things about him. Interesting set of philosophies and beliefs this man had.

An amazing man gives his version of his life

OK, so I really admire the man who cleaned up the NYPD and was an admirable Trustbuster but an audiobook with a runtime of over 23 hours? YES. I had not read an autobiography before, only the interpretive sort of third party research, so this was a real treat. No point in summarizing his life as he does a decent job of it and the narrator seems perfect for the task as he brings it to life with a pleasant voice and interpretation and really made the splitting up the read into manageable segments an easy task.

Absolutely love it

The concepts that Roosevelt discusses are very much the same concepts we are struggling with today. the Narration was superb

Needs a table of contents with specific subjects

Very interesting book. All of the audible book should require to have a table of contents so that you can go back and listen to specific topics. This is a major deficiency of Audible.

good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

authentic

I liked the autobiography because there's nothing more authentic. Other authors might have the benefit of separation of time and distance from actual events, even as we do from events in our own life, but it's unfiltered and immediate.

awesome book

incredible work 👍 highly recommended for people who love Teddy Roosevelt and his life. awesome book and great job
